Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB-B1VSW6 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent options:

• Connector Type: USB-B (USB TYPE-B)
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Vertical
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters while offering variations in operating temperature range, current rating, voltage specification, mating cycle durability, and shell material composition. These variations allow for selection based on specific application requirements without compromising connector form factor or board-level compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

USB-B1KSW6 is a direct parametric equivalent from On Shore Technology Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the USB-B1VSW6. This part maintains the same operating temperature range (0°C ~ 40°C), current rating (1A), and voltage specification (30VAC). Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring identical performance characteristics with higher inventory availability (41,821 units in stock versus 972 units).

KUSBVXHT-BS1N-O30-HRF from Kycon, Inc. is a qualified substitute with enhanced specifications suitable for demanding environments. This part provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), increased current rating (1.5A), stainless steel shell construction, and specified mating cycle durability (1500 cycles). The voltage specification differs (30VDC versus 30VAC). Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance, mechanical durability, or higher current capacity, provided the voltage specification change is compatible with the application circuit.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability certification, and board lock functionality. Selection should be based on specific application requirements for operating temperature, current demand, and mechanical durability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB-B1KSW6 be used as a direct replacement for USB-B1VSW6?

A: Yes. The USB-B1KSW6 maintains identical connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, termination method, and electrical ratings (1A at 30VAC). Both parts are manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc. and carry the same compliance certifications. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between USB-B1VSW6 and KUSBVXHT-BS1N-O30-HRF?

A: The KUSBVXHT-BS1N-O30-HRF offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus 0°C to 40°C), increased current rating (1.5A versus 1A), stainless steel shell construction (versus brass), and specified mating cycle durability (1500 cycles). The voltage specification is 30VDC rather than 30VAC. These differences make the Kycon part suitable for more demanding thermal and mechanical environments.

Q: Is the voltage specification difference (30VAC versus 30VDC) significant for substitution?

A: Voltage specification differences must be evaluated against the application circuit requirements. The USB-B1VSW6 is rated for 30VAC, while the KUSBVXHT-BS1N-O30-HRF is rated for 30VDC. Substitution is valid only when the application circuit voltage and waveform characteristics are compatible with the substitute part's rating.

Q: What is the significance of the stainless steel shell material in KUSBVXHT-BS1N-O30-HRF?

A: Stainless steel shell construction provides enhanced corrosion resistance and mechanical durability compared to brass. This material selection is beneficial for applications exposed to corrosive environments, high mechanical stress, or extended service life requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both USB-B1KSW6 and KUSBVXHT-BS1N-O30-HRF are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, matching the compliance profile of the USB-B1VSW6.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The KUSBVXHT-BS1N-O30-HRF is specified for operating temperatures from -55°C to 85°C, providing significantly extended thermal range compared to the USB-B1VSW6 (0°C to 40°C). Selection of the Kycon part is appropriate for applications requiring operation in elevated temperature environments.
