Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: connector type (USB mini B), contact count (5 positions), gender (receptacle), USB specification (2.0), mounting configuration (surface mount right-angle with through-hole capability), horizontal mounting feature, solder termination, shielding, and compliance certifications (RoHS, UL94 V-0, MSL 1).

The substitute parts are grouped as follows:

MFR Recommended Substitutes: Parts that maintain identical or superior electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active or last-time-buy product status.

Parametric Equivalents: Parts that satisfy all core functional parameters with extended operating temperature ranges or enhanced voltage ratings, suitable for applications requiring broader environmental tolerance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UX60SC-MB-5S8 (Hirose Electric Co Ltd): This MFR recommended substitute maintains identical connector architecture and surface mount configuration as the UX60-MB-5S8. Product status is Last Time Buy, indicating limited procurement window. RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained. Selection is appropriate for designs requiring direct form-fit-function replacement with Hirose sourcing continuity.

1734510-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This MFR recommended substitute provides active product status with extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and elevated voltage rating (30VAC). Mounting configuration differs to through-hole only, eliminating surface mount capability. ROHS3 compliance exceeds baseline RoHS requirements. Selection is appropriate for applications prioritizing long-term availability and enhanced environmental tolerance, provided PCB layout accommodates through-hole termination.

KMBX-SMT-5S-S-30TR (Kycon, Inc.): This parametric equivalent maintains surface mount right-angle configuration with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) and elevated voltage rating (30VAC). Active product status ensures sustained availability. ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL 1 rating are provided. Selection is appropriate for designs requiring broad environmental operating range while preserving surface mount assembly methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UX60SC-MB-5S8 be used as a direct replacement for UX60-MB-5S8?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact count, gender, USB 2.0 specification, surface mount right-angle configuration, and horizontal mounting feature. RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained. The primary consideration is product status: UX60SC-MB-5S8 is Last Time Buy, requiring expedited procurement planning.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1734510-1 and the original UX60-MB-5S8?

A: The 1734510-1 is configured for through-hole mounting only, whereas the UX60-MB-5S8 supports both surface mount and through-hole termination. The 1734510-1 offers extended operating temperature (-40°C to 85°C versus -30°C to 75°C) and higher voltage rating (30VAC versus 5VAC). Product status is Active, providing long-term availability. PCB redesign is required to accommodate through-hole termination.

Q: Is KMBX-SMT-5S-S-30TR compatible with existing UX60-MB-5S8 PCB layouts?

A: Yes, provided PCB footprints accommodate Kycon connector dimensions. Both parts maintain surface mount right-angle configuration with identical contact count and USB 2.0 specification. The KMBX-SMT-5S-S-30TR offers extended operating temperature (-55°C to 85°C) and higher voltage rating (30VAC). Mechanical fit verification against PCB layout is required prior to design release.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: UX60SC-MB-5S8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. 1734510-1 is supplied in Tray format. KMBX-SMT-5S-S-30TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Original UX60-MB-5S8 inventory is available in bulk packaging. Packaging selection impacts assembly process compatibility and procurement logistics.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. UX60SC-MB-5S8 maintains RoHS Compliant status. Both 1734510-1 and KMBX-SMT-5S-S-30TR are ROHS3 Compliant, which exceeds baseline RoHS requirements. All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
