Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB-A-S-F-B-SM1 are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

MFR Recommended Substitutes (Amphenol ICC / FCI Series 87583):

• 87583-0010BHLF (Tube packaging)
• 87583-2010RLF (Tape & Reel packaging)
• 87583-3010RPALF (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging)

These parts share identical core specifications: USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle, 4-position, surface mount right-angle configuration, board lock feature, solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Differences exist in packaging format and shielding configuration. The Amphenol parts feature unshielded design with copper alloy shells and higher current rating (3A), while the main part is shielded with phosphor bronze shell.

Parametric Equivalents (Alternative manufacturers):

• 62900416021 (Würth Elektronik, WR-COM series)
• 896-43-004-00-000000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp., 896 series)

These parts maintain functional compatibility through identical connector type, USB 2.0 specification, 4-position receptacle configuration, surface mount right-angle mounting, board lock feature, and solder termination. All substitute parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and meet the core functional requirements of the USB-A-S-F-B-SM1. Selection between alternatives depends on specific application constraints:

Amphenol ICC / FCI Series 87583 parts are manufacturer-recommended substitutes with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. These parts are suitable for direct replacement when packaging format aligns with manufacturing requirements. The Tape & Reel (87583-2010RLF) and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel (87583-3010RPALF) formats support high-volume automated assembly. The Tube packaging (87583-0010BHLF) accommodates lower-volume or manual assembly processes. All three Amphenol variants feature higher current rating (3A) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) compared to the main part.

Würth Elektronik 62900416021 maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status matching the main part. This part supports extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and is packaged in Tray format suitable for bulk handling.

Mill-Max Manufacturing 896-43-004-00-000000 provides ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. This part is available in Tray packaging and maintains 1500 mating cycle specification.

All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring compliance with standard reliability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC / FCI Series 87583 parts directly replace the USB-A-S-F-B-SM1?

A: Yes. The Amphenol parts share identical connector type (USB-A receptacle), USB 2.0 specification, 4-position configuration, surface mount right-angle mounting, board lock feature, and solder termination. Differences in shielding configuration (unshielded vs. shielded) and current rating (3A vs. unspecified) do not prevent functional substitution in standard USB 2.0 applications.

Q: What is the difference between the three Amphenol packaging options?

A: The three Amphenol variants (87583-0010BHLF, 87583-2010RLF, 87583-3010RPALF) differ only in packaging format. Tube packaging suits manual or low-volume assembly. Tape & Reel packaging supports standard pick-and-place equipment for medium to high-volume production. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging provides flexibility for both manual and automated assembly with higher inventory availability (60,152 units in stock).

Q: Are the Würth Elektronik and Mill-Max parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The Würth Elektronik 62900416021 supports extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), making it suitable for applications requiring higher temperature tolerance. The Mill-Max part does not specify operating temperature range. The main Samtec part and standard Amphenol variants operate within -50°C ~ 85°C or -55°C ~ 85°C ranges.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The Amphenol parts carry RoHS compliance status. The Würth Elektronik and Mill-Max parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the main part's regulatory profile.

Q: Does shielding configuration affect substitution compatibility?

A: The main Samtec part features shielded design with phosphor bronze shell. The Amphenol substitutes are unshielded with copper alloy shells. Both shielded and unshielded configurations support USB 2.0 specification compliance. Application-specific electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements determine whether shielding is necessary for a given design.

Q: What inventory considerations apply when selecting a substitute?

A: Current inventory levels vary significantly: Amphenol 87583-3010RPALF (60,152 units), Amphenol 87583-0010BHLF (3,722 units), Mill-Max 896-43-004-00-000000 (4,714 units), Würth Elektronik 62900416021 (1,307 units), and Samtec USB-A-S-F-B-SM1 (888 units). High-volume production schedules may benefit from parts with greater inventory availability.
