Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USBR-A-S-F-O-VT are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. All identified substitutes share the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Vertical
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Number of Ports: 1
• Mating Cycles: 1500
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts are classified as parametric equivalents when all core electrical and mechanical parameters match the main part specification. Variations in shell material, insulation color, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications do not disqualify substitution eligibility when the primary functional parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—USBR-A-S-F-O-VT (Samtec), 614004185023 (Würth Elektronik), and 690-004-260-013 (Mercury United)—are active production components with identical core electrical and mechanical specifications for USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle applications.

Samtec USBR-A-S-F-O-VT is the primary specification part with an operating temperature range of -50°C to 85°C and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Würth Elektronik 614004185023 is a parametric equivalent with an extended lower operating temperature limit of -55°C to 85°C, RoHS3 compliance certification, and a specified current rating of 1.5A. This part is supplied in tray packaging and features brass shell material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Mercury United 690-004-260-013 is a parametric equivalent with an extended lower operating temperature limit of -55°C to 85°C, RoHS3 compliance certification, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. This part is supplied in tray packaging with copper alloy shell material and offers the highest inventory availability at 9488 units in stock.

Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements for operating temperature range, compliance certifications, packaging format, and current rating specifications. All three parts satisfy the core USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle functional requirements with identical contact configuration, mating cycle rating, and board lock features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 614004185023 (Würth Elektronik) be used as a direct substitute for USBR-A-S-F-O-VT (Samtec)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (USB-A), specifications (USB 2.0), contact configuration (4-position receptacle), mounting method (through-hole vertical), termination type (solder), and board lock features. The Würth part extends the lower operating temperature limit to -55°C and includes RoHS3 compliance and current rating specification of 1.5A.

Q: Can 690-004-260-013 (Mercury United) be used as a direct substitute for USBR-A-S-F-O-VT (Samtec)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (USB-A), specifications (USB 2.0), contact configuration (4-position receptacle), mounting method (through-hole vertical), termination type (solder), and board lock features. The Mercury United part extends the lower operating temperature limit to -55°C and includes RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What are the key differences between the three parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Operating temperature range: Samtec -50°C to 85°C versus Würth and Mercury United -55°C to 85°C; (2) Current rating: Würth specifies 1.5A while Samtec and Mercury United do not specify current rating; (3) Shell material: Würth uses brass, Mercury United uses copper alloy; (4) Insulation color: Samtec orange, Würth white, Mercury United black; (5) Inventory availability: Mercury United offers 9488 units versus Samtec 1048 units and Würth 1049 units.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Würth Elektronik 614004185023 and Mercury United 690-004-260-013 are both RoHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status is not specified for the Samtec USBR-A-S-F-O-VT in the provided parameters.

Q: What is the packaging format for each part?

A: Samtec USBR-A-S-F-O-VT packaging is not specified. Würth Elektronik 614004185023 and Mercury United 690-004-260-013 are both supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Do all parts have the same mating cycle rating?

A: Yes. All three parts have a mating cycle rating of 1500 cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability for connector engagement and disengagement operations.

Q: Are all parts unshielded?

A: Yes. All three parts are unshielded USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle connectors with identical shielding specifications.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: All three parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
