Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R is determined by strict compliance with the following parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Connector Type: USB-B (USB TYPE-B)
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Receptacle
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Number of Ports: 1
• Mating Cycles: 1500

Compatible Parameters (Allowable Variation):

• Operating Temperature Range: -50°C to -55°C minimum acceptable; 85°C maximum
• Voltage Rating: 30V or higher
• Contact Finish: Gold or equivalent conductive finish
• Shell/Shielding Material: Steel, Phosphor Bronze, or Brass
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: White, Black, or Orange (functional equivalence)

All five substitute parts listed meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the original USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R connector.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Samtec Inc. Substitutes (USB-B-S-F-B-TH, USB-B-S-S-W-TH, USBR-B-S-F-O-TH):

These three parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc., the original equipment manufacturer of USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R. All three maintain identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and mating cycle ratings. All three are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). The primary differences are insulation color (Black, White, or Orange) and shell material composition (Steel or Phosphor Bronze/Steel combination). These parts are direct functional equivalents suitable for immediate substitution without design modification.

CNC Tech Substitute (1002-003-02000):

This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C, providing enhanced low-temperature performance. Current rating is specified at 1.5A. ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) are confirmed. Contact finish and insulation color are not specified in available documentation. This part is suitable for substitution in applications where extended temperature range is beneficial.

Assmann WSW Components Substitute (AU-Y1007-2):

This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. Current rating is specified at 1.5A. ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) are confirmed. Rated voltage is not specified in available documentation. Inventory availability is significantly higher (37,116 units) compared to other options. This part is suitable for substitution in applications requiring extended temperature performance and high availability.

All substitute parts carry active product status and are suitable for new design implementations or production continuity planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB-B-S-F-B-TH be used as a direct replacement for USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and share identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range (-50°C to 85°C), mating cycle rating (1500), and mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle, horizontal). The only difference is insulation color (Black versus White), which does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec and non-Samtec substitute parts?

A: Samtec substitutes (USB-B-S-F-B-TH, USB-B-S-S-W-TH, USBR-B-S-F-O-TH) are manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer and maintain identical specifications to USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R. Non-Samtec substitutes (1002-003-02000 from CNC Tech and AU-Y1007-2 from Assmann WSW Components) are manufactured by alternative suppliers but meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Non-Samtec parts offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C minimum) and specified current ratings (1.5A).

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All five substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R does not specify RoHS status in available documentation.

Q: What is the significance of MSL rating 1 (Unlimited)?

A: MSL rating 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the connector has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. All substitute parts carry this rating, ensuring no additional handling or storage requirements compared to the original part.

Q: Can I use AU-Y1007-2 if voltage rating is not specified?

A: The AU-Y1007-2 is specified for USB 2.0 interface with the same 4-position receptacle configuration as USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R. While rated voltage is not explicitly documented, the part meets all other critical electrical parameters including mating cycles (1500), contact finish (Gold), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The part is suitable for USB 2.0 applications operating at standard USB voltage levels.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: AU-Y1007-2 from Assmann WSW Components has the highest inventory availability with 37,116 units in stock, compared to 723 units for the original USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R. This part is recommended for applications requiring immediate high-volume sourcing.

Q: Do all substitute parts support the same mating cycle rating?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are rated for 1500 mating cycles, identical to USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R. This ensures equivalent mechanical durability and connector lifespan across all options.

Q: What is the difference between Steel and Brass shell materials?

A: Both Steel (used in USB-B-S-F-W-TH-R, USB-B-S-F-B-TH, USB-B-S-S-W-TH, and 1002-003-02000) and Brass (used in AU-Y1007-2) are conductive materials suitable for USB connector shielding. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection does not affect electrical performance or USB 2.0 compliance.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts in the same production run?

A: All substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications and mounting requirements. However, insulation color varies (White, Black, or Orange). If color consistency is required for assembly or identification purposes, parts should be selected from the same manufacturer or color specification.
