Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB-A-S-S-W-SM1 are classified based on strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Mating Cycles: 1500
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Variation Parameters (allowable differences):

• Manufacturer and part number
• Insulation color
• Shielding configuration (shielded vs. unshielded)
• Contact finish specifications
• Shell/shielding material composition
• Operating temperature range (within or exceeding specified range)
• Current rating (where specified)
• Voltage rating (where specified)
• Packaging format
• Inventory availability

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: Parametric Equivalents (identical core electrical and mechanical specifications) and Similar parts (same functional class with allowable variations in secondary parameters).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent - Samtec USB-A-S-F-B-SM1: This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the USB-A-S-S-W-SM1, with the only difference being insulation color (black vs. white). Both are ROHS3 compliant and active in production. Selection is appropriate when color differentiation is not a design constraint.

Parametric Equivalent - Würth Elektronik 62900416021: This part meets all core substitution criteria with ROHS3 compliance and active product status. Operating temperature range extends to 105°C, providing enhanced thermal margin. Current rating of 1.5A and voltage rating of 30VAC are specified. Shielding configuration matches the primary part.

Parametric Equivalent - Mill-Max 896-43-004-00-000000: This part satisfies all primary substitution criteria with ROHS3 compliance and active status. Shielding and voltage rating (30VAC) align with the primary part. Current rating is specified at 1A. Operating temperature range is not provided in available data.

Similar Parts - Amphenol ICC (FCI) 87583 Series (87583-0010BHLF, 87583-2010RLF, 87583-3010RPALF): These parts maintain USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle configuration with 4 contacts, surface mount right-angle mounting, and 1500 mating cycles. Key differences include unshielded configuration (vs. shielded primary part), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), and higher current rating (3A). RoHS compliance is confirmed. Packaging varies: tube, tape & reel, and cut tape with Digi-Reel respectively. These parts are suitable for applications where shielding is not required and higher current capacity is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the USB-A-S-S-W-SM1 with an unshielded alternative?

A: Unshielded alternatives such as the Amphenol ICC 87583 series parts are functionally compatible at the USB 2.0 protocol level. However, shielding provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation. Substitution with unshielded parts is permissible only if the application design does not require EMI protection or if the PCB layout includes alternative shielding measures.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec USB-A-S-S-W-SM1 and USB-A-S-F-B-SM1?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including USB 2.0 compliance, 4-contact receptacle configuration, surface mount right-angle mounting, shielding, and ROHS3 compliance. The only difference is insulation color: white (W) versus black (F). Selection between these parts depends solely on design documentation or assembly color-coding requirements.

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC 87583 series parts direct replacements?

A: The Amphenol ICC 87583 series parts are functionally compatible USB 2.0 Type-A receptacles with identical contact count, mounting type, and mating cycle rating. However, they differ in shielding configuration (unshielded vs. shielded), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C vs. -50°C to 85°C), and current rating (3A vs. unspecified). These parts are suitable substitutes when unshielded configuration is acceptable and higher current capacity is beneficial.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Packaging formats vary across substitute parts: Samtec parts are supplied in standard packaging; Amphenol ICC 87583 series offers tube, tape & reel (TR), and cut tape with Digi-Reel options; Würth Elektronik 62900416021 is supplied in tray; Mill-Max 896-43-004-00-000000 is supplied in tray. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Which substitute part offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: The Würth Elektronik 62900416021 provides the widest operating temperature range at -40°C to 105°C, compared to the primary part's -50°C to 85°C range. This extended upper temperature limit may be advantageous for applications in elevated thermal environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Samtec USB-A-S-F-B-SM1, Würth Elektronik 62900416021, and Mill-Max 896-43-004-00-000000 are ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC 87583 series parts are RoHS compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
