Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the USB-A-S-S-B-SM2-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (USB-A), contact count (4), gender (receptacle), USB specification (2.0), mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle, horizontal), termination method (solder), operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), rated voltage (30VAC), mating cycle rating (1500), contact finish (gold), shell material (copper alloy), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Samtec Inc. parametric equivalents maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with variations limited to packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) and insulation color (black vs. white). These variations do not affect functional compatibility.

Similar alternatives from Amphenol ICC (FCI) and Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. share the same connector type, contact configuration, USB 2.0 specification, and mounting characteristics. However, these alternatives introduce differences in operating temperature range, current rating, shielding configuration, and contact finish specifications that must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Samtec Inc. parametric equivalents (USB-A-S-F-B-SM2-R-TR, USB-A-S-F-B-SM2-TR, USB-A-S-F-W-SM2-R-TR, USB-A-S-F-W-SM2-TR) provide direct functional substitution with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these variants depends on packaging requirements (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) and insulation color specification. All maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical operating parameters.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) alternatives (87583-0010BHLF, 87583-2010RLF, 87583-3010RPALF) extend the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 85°C and specify 3A current rating. These parts feature board lock retention and GXT™ contact finish. The 87583-3010RPALF variant offers the highest inventory availability (60152 units) with black insulation color matching the original part specification.

Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. 896-43-004-00-000000 provides an alternative with shielded configuration and stainless steel shell material. This part specifies 1A current rating and maintains 30VAC voltage rating. Shielding configuration differs from the original unshielded design.

Selection should prioritize parts with matching operating temperature range and current rating specifications for the target application. ROHS3 compliance is maintained across all Samtec variants and the Mill-Max option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB-A-S-F-B-SM2-TR replace USB-A-S-S-B-SM2-TR directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact configuration, USB 2.0 specification, mounting configuration, operating temperature range, and voltage rating. The difference is packaging format: USB-A-S-F-B-SM2-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format while USB-A-S-S-B-SM2-TR is Cut Tape. Functional compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the difference between black and white insulation color variants?

A: Insulation color is a cosmetic specification that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. USB-A-S-F-B-SM2-TR and USB-A-S-F-W-SM2-TR are functionally identical except for insulation color. Selection depends on application documentation or assembly requirements.

Q: Are Amphenol ICC (FCI) 87583 series parts compatible?

A: The 87583 series parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for USB 2.0 applications. Key differences include extended operating temperature range (-55°C vs. -50°C minimum), specified 3A current rating, board lock feature, and GXT™ contact finish. These differences represent enhanced specifications suitable for demanding environments.

Q: What is the significance of the 896-43-004-00-000000 shielded design?

A: The Mill-Max 896-43-004-00-000000 features shielded configuration with stainless steel shell material, differing from the original unshielded copper alloy design. Shielding provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. This variant is suitable for applications requiring EMI mitigation but introduces a design change from the original specification.

Q: How do packaging formats affect part selection?

A: Packaging format (Cut Tape, Tape & Reel, Tube, Tray) affects handling, storage, and assembly automation compatibility but does not impact electrical or mechanical function. Cut Tape format is suitable for manual assembly or low-volume production. Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Selection depends on production methodology and volume requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS compliant?

A: All Samtec variants maintain ROHS3 compliance. Amphenol ICC (FCI) parts are RoHS compliant. Mill-Max 896-43-004-00-000000 is ROHS3 compliant. Compliance status is maintained across all alternatives.
