Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB-AM-S-S-W-SM1-R are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Plug
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle; Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Guide
• Number of Ports: 1

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range: -50°C ~ 85°C (minimum requirement)
• Voltage - Rated: 30VAC (minimum requirement)
• Mating Cycles: 1500 (minimum requirement)

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in insulation color, manufacturer, or compliance certifications do not affect functional substitutability when core parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Samtec USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1: This part is a direct parametric equivalent to the USB-AM-S-S-W-SM1-R. All electrical and mechanical parameters align identically. The only difference is insulation color (black versus white). This part carries ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection is appropriate when color differentiation is not a design requirement and higher inventory availability (1400 pcs) is advantageous.

Samtec USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1: This part is a direct parametric equivalent to the USB-AM-S-S-W-SM1-R. All electrical and mechanical parameters align identically. The only difference is insulation color (black versus white). This part carries ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection is appropriate when color differentiation is not a design requirement and inventory availability (1099 pcs) meets procurement needs.

Molex 0480371000: This part satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical parameters for USB 2.0 Type-A plug connector applications. Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C) meets the minimum requirement of -50°C ~ 85°C for upper temperature operation. Voltage rating (150VAC) exceeds the 30VAC requirement. Mating cycles specification is not provided in the data. This part is manufactured by Molex, carries ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and offers the highest inventory availability (7928 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1 replace USB-AM-S-S-W-SM1-R in all applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 4-position plug connector, shielded, gold-plated contacts), mechanical mounting (surface mount, right angle, horizontal, solder termination), and environmental ratings (operating temperature -50°C ~ 85°C, 30VAC rated voltage, 1500 mating cycles). The insulation color difference (black versus white) does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: Can USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1 replace USB-AM-S-S-W-SM1-R in all applications?

The insulation color difference (black versus white) does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: Can Molex 0480371000 replace USB-AM-S-S-W-SM1-R?

A: Yes. The Molex part satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C) supports the upper temperature requirement. Voltage rating (150VAC) exceeds the 30VAC specification. Mating cycles data is not provided for the Molex part; however, all other parametric requirements align with the original specification.

Q: What is the significance of insulation color differences?

A: Insulation color is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection between white and black insulation is based on design documentation, assembly traceability, or visual identification requirements only.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Samtec parts USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1 and USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1 carry explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The main part USB-AM-S-S-W-SM1-R does not list these certifications in the provided data. Molex 0480371000 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Compliance requirements should be verified against design specifications before final selection.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: Molex 0480371000 offers the highest inventory availability at 7928 pieces. Samtec USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1 provides 1400 pieces, and Samtec USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1 provides 1099 pieces. The original part USB-AM-S-S-W-SM1-R has 899 pieces in stock.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical mounting type (surface mount, right angle, through hole), mounting feature (horizontal), and termination method (solder). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain compatible across all listed parts.
