Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Designs:

UX60-MB-5ST(70) is the recommended primary substitute, maintaining Hirose Electric product line continuity with active product status and identical electrical specifications to the original part.

For Extended Temperature Range Requirements:

TE Connectivity 1734035 series (1734035-2, 1734035-3, 1734035-4, 1734035-5) and Würth Elektronik 65100516121 support operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C or -40°C to 105°C respectively, exceeding the original -30°C to 75°C specification. These are suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance.

For Packaging Flexibility:

UX60SC-MB-5ST(80) offers Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging options. TE Connectivity 1734035 series provides both Cut Tape and Tape & Reel variants. Würth Elektronik 65100516121 is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format.

For Compliance Assurance:

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability classification and RoHS or ROHS3 compliance status. TE Connectivity 1734035-2, 1734035-3, and 1734035-4 carry ROHS3 certification. Würth Elektronik 65100516121 and Mill-Max 897-43-005-00-100001 are ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status.

For Procurement Continuity:

UX60SA-MB-5ST(80) and UX60SC-MB-5ST(80) are designated Last Time Buy by Hirose Electric, indicating limited availability. Active status parts from TE Connectivity, Würth Elektronik, and Mill-Max offer sustained supply chain access.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UX60-MB-5ST be directly replaced with UX60SA-MB-5ST(80) or UX60SC-MB-5ST(80)?

A: Yes. Both are Hirose Electric manufacturer-recommended substitutes with identical USB 2.0 mini B receptacle configuration, 5-position contact arrangement, and surface mount right-angle mounting. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible. UX60SC-MB-5ST(80) maintains the original 5VAC voltage rating and 5000 mating cycle specification.

Q: What are the key differences between Hirose and TE Connectivity alternatives?

A: Hirose variants (UX60SA, UX60SC, UX60-MB-5ST(70)) maintain the original product line design. TE Connectivity 1734035 series offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -30°C to 75°C), higher voltage rating (30VAC versus 5VAC), and ROHS3 compliance. Shell material differs: Hirose uses copper alloy; TE Connectivity uses steel (SUS304).

Q: Are there mating cycle differences between substitutes?

A: The original UX60-MB-5ST specifies 5000 mating cycles. Most substitutes maintain this specification. Würth Elektronik 65100516121 specifies 1500 mating cycles, which is lower. For applications requiring 5000+ cycle durability, select alternatives with matching or higher cycle ratings.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: Würth Elektronik 65100516121 supports -40°C to 105°C, the broadest range among all alternatives. TE Connectivity 1734035 series supports -40°C to 85°C. Original specification is -30°C to 75°C.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Hirose UX60-MB-5ST(70) is supplied in Tape & Reel. UX60SC-MB-5ST(80) offers Cut Tape and Digi-Reel. TE Connectivity 1734035-2 and 1734035-4 are Cut Tape; 1734035-3 and 1734035-5 are Tape & Reel. Würth Elektronik 65100516121 is Cut Tape and Digi-Reel. Mill-Max 897-43-005-00-100001 is Tape & Reel.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Original part is RoHS Compliant. UX60SC-MB-5ST(80), 1734035-2, 1734035-3, 1734035-4, 65100516121, and 897-43-005-00-100001 are ROHS3 Compliant. UX60SA-MB-5ST(80), UX60-MB-5ST(70), 1734035-5, and 2041492-1 are RoHS Compliant.

Q: Can substitutes be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible across all listed substitutes for the USB 2.0 mini B receptacle function. However, verify voltage rating requirements (original 5VAC; most substitutes 30VAC), operating temperature range, and mating cycle specifications against application demands before implementation.
