UX60R-MB-5ST USB 2.0 Mini B Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UX60R-MB-5ST is a USB 2.0 Mini B receptacle connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, configured as a 5-position surface mount right-angle connector with solder termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing production and repair applications. The connector features shielded construction with gold-plated contacts and board guide retention, suitable for applications requiring reliable USB 2.0 connectivity in compact form factors.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: connector type (USB - mini B), number of contacts (5), gender (receptacle), USB specification (2.0), mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle, horizontal), termination method (solder), and shielding requirement (shielded). All identified substitute parts maintain these mandatory parameters.

Secondary parameters including operating temperature range, voltage rating, mating cycles, contact finish, shell material, and flammability rating are provided for engineering evaluation but do not disqualify substitution when primary parameters align. Packaging format (tape & reel, cut tape) and product status (active vs. obsolete) are logistical considerations that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional replacement of the UX60R-MB-5ST. Selection among active alternatives should prioritize product status and compliance certifications.

The TE Connectivity 1734035 series (variants -2, -3, -4, -5) and Würth Elektronik 65100516121 are ROHS3 compliant, representing the highest compliance standard. The Hirose UX60-MB-5ST(70) maintains the same operating temperature and voltage specifications as the original part while offering active product status. CUI Devices UJ2-MBH-1-SMT-TR and Samtec MUSB-05-S-B-SM-A-TR provide extended operating temperature ranges suitable for demanding thermal environments.

Packaging format selection depends on production volume and assembly requirements. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly, while Cut Tape is suitable for lower-volume or mixed-component applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can any of these substitute parts be used interchangeably with the UX60R-MB-5ST?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts maintain the core parameters: USB 2.0 Mini B receptacle, 5-position, surface mount right-angle configuration with solder termination and shielding. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is assured for these parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity 1734035 variants (-2, -3, -4, -5)?

A: The variants differ in packaging format and insulation color. Variants -2 and -4 are supplied in Cut Tape; variants -3 and -5 are supplied in Tape & Reel. Variant -5 features natural insulation color, while others are black. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical across all variants.

Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution suitability?

A: Operating temperature range is a secondary parameter. The original part operates -30°C to 75°C. Substitute parts with extended ranges (-40°C to 85°C or higher) are suitable for the original application and provide additional thermal margin. Parts with narrower ranges require application-specific thermal analysis.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitute options?

A: Yes. TE Connectivity 1734035 series parts are ROHS3 compliant. Würth Elektronik 65100516121 and Mill-Max 897-43-005-00-100001 are ROHS3 compliant. Hirose UX60-MB-5ST(70) and CUI Devices UJ2-MBH-1-SMT-TR are RoHS compliant. All parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: What packaging format should be selected for production?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated surface mount assembly. Cut Tape is suitable for manual assembly or low-volume production. Selection depends on assembly process and volume requirements, not electrical compatibility.

Q: Do shell material differences affect connector performance?

A: Shell materials vary (brass, copper alloy, steel, phosphor bronze) but do not affect USB 2.0 electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Material selection reflects manufacturing process and cost optimization by each supplier.

Q: What is the significance of mating cycle ratings?

A: The original part and most substitutes are rated for 5000 mating cycles. Würth Elektronik 65100516121 and Samtec MUSB-05-S-B-SM-A-TR are rated for 1500 cycles. For applications with frequent connector mating, the 5000-cycle rated parts are preferred.
