Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB-A-S-S-W-VU are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Core Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Vertical, Flag
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in secondary parameters such as insulation color, shell material composition, operating temperature range, and current rating are noted but do not preclude substitution when the core criteria are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for the USB-A-S-S-W-VU application.

Samtec Inc. Substitutes (USB-A-S-F-W-VU, USB-A-S-S-B-VU): These parts maintain identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and mating cycle ratings as the primary part. The primary difference is insulation color (white versus black in USB-A-S-S-B-VU), which does not affect electrical function. Both are manufactured by the same supplier and carry equivalent compliance certifications.

CNC Tech Substitute (1002-014-01000): This part extends the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 85°C and specifies a current rating of 1.5A. Shell material composition differs (brass and steel versus phosphor bronze), but mechanical mounting and electrical interface remain compatible. Mating cycle specification is not provided.

Assmann WSW Components Substitutes (A-USB A-E/LP, A-USB/2-A-E): Both parts extend the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 85°C and specify 1.5A current rating. Shell material is brass. Rated voltage is not specified in the provided data. Both maintain 1500 mating cycle rating and white insulation color.

Selection among substitutes should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and any application-specific constraints related to operating temperature or current handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB-A-S-F-W-VU replace USB-A-S-S-W-VU in production designs?

A: Yes. USB-A-S-F-W-VU meets all core compatibility criteria: USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle, 4-position, through-hole right-angle mounting, board lock feature, solder termination, UL94 V-0 rating, and ROHS3 compliance. The only difference is insulation color (white), which does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: What is the difference between USB-A-S-S-B-VU and USB-A-S-S-W-VU?

A: The primary difference is insulation color: USB-A-S-S-B-VU has black insulation while USB-A-S-S-W-VU has white insulation. All electrical specifications, operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), mating cycles (1500), and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are CNC Tech and Assmann parts fully compatible with Samtec parts?

A: Yes, for core USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle functionality. All parts share identical connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, and board lock feature. CNC Tech and Assmann parts offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C versus -50°C ~ 85°C) and specified current rating (1.5A), which represent enhanced specifications rather than limitations.

Q: Does shell material variation affect compatibility?

A: No. Shell material differences (phosphor bronze in Samtec parts versus brass/steel in CNC Tech or brass in Assmann parts) do not affect electrical interface or mechanical mounting compatibility. All materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Can I use parts with different current ratings interchangeably?

A: Yes, for USB 2.0 applications. The USB-A-S-S-W-VU does not specify a current rating, while CNC Tech and Assmann parts specify 1.5A. This indicates that substitute parts have documented current handling capability, which does not preclude their use in applications where the primary part is specified.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the primary part's regulatory status.

Q: What is the significance of mating cycle ratings?

A: Mating cycles indicate connector durability under repeated insertion and removal. Samtec and Assmann parts specify 1500 cycles. CNC Tech does not provide this specification in the available data. For applications requiring high-cycle reliability, Samtec or Assmann parts are preferred.

Q: Can I mix Samtec and non-Samtec parts in the same design?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require single-source component traceability or specific supplier qualification. All parts meet identical USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle specifications and compliance requirements.
