Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for USB-B Type-B receptacle connectors is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-B (USB TYPE-B)
• USB Specification: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination Method: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -50°C ~ 85°C
• Voltage Rating: 30VAC
• Mating Cycles: 1500
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Shell Material: Steel
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Board Lock Feature: Present

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape)
• Insulation Color (Black vs. White)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) designation

All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical interface, and environmental specifications as the main part. Packaging differences do not affect functional compatibility or board-level integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—USB-B-S-F-B-TH-R-TR (main), USB-B-S-F-B-TH-TR (Substitute 1), and USB-B-S-S-B-TH-TR (Substitute 2)—are functionally equivalent for USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle applications requiring through-hole, right-angle mounting with board lock functionality.

Selection Criteria Based on Provided Parameters:

1. Packaging Requirements: If automated assembly processes require Tape & Reel (TR) format, select USB-B-S-F-B-TH-R-TR or USB-B-S-S-B-TH-TR. If Cut Tape (CT) format is acceptable for manual or semi-automated placement, USB-B-S-F-B-TH-TR is suitable.

2. Insulation Color Specification: If black insulation is required for visual identification or design standards, select USB-B-S-F-B-TH-R-TR or USB-B-S-F-B-TH-TR. If white insulation is acceptable, USB-B-S-S-B-TH-TR provides an alternative.

3. Compliance & Regulatory: All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and Active product status, meeting standard industrial and consumer electronics requirements.

4. Inventory Availability: Current stock levels are 813 Pcs (main part), 1486 Pcs (Substitute 1), and 803 Pcs (Substitute 2). Selection may be influenced by procurement lead times and inventory position.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB-B-S-F-B-TH-TR (Cut Tape packaging) be used as a direct replacement for USB-B-S-F-B-TH-R-TR (Tape & Reel packaging)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The packaging difference (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) affects only the supply format and handling during assembly. Functional performance on the PCB is identical.

Q: What is the difference between USB-B-S-S-B-TH-TR and the main part?

A: The primary difference is insulation color: USB-B-S-S-B-TH-TR features white insulation, while USB-B-S-F-B-TH-R-TR features black insulation. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications are identical. Selection depends on design color-coding requirements.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same PCB layout and footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), mounting feature (Horizontal), connector type (USB-B), and physical dimensions. PCB footprints and layout designs are interchangeable.

Q: Do packaging differences affect compliance or certifications?

A: No. All parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and regulatory certifications regardless of packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the 1500 mating cycles specification?

A: The 1500 mating cycles rating indicates the connector is rated for 1500 connect/disconnect operations before potential performance degradation. All substitute parts share this specification, ensuring equivalent reliability and service life.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in high-speed USB applications?

A: These connectors are specified for USB 2.0 applications. All three parts maintain identical USB 2.0 specifications and are suitable for applications within USB 2.0 performance parameters.
