Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ZX20-B-5S-UNIT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type and gender (USB micro B plug), contact count (5 positions), electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 1.8A, 30VAC), mechanical configuration (through-hole vertical mounting with solder termination), environmental ratings (operating temperature -30°C to 85°C, 10000 mating cycles), and material compliance (UL94 V-0, gold contact finish, stainless steel shell).

The substitute part ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in packaging configuration and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete ZX20-B-5S-UNIT. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and environmental specifications. The substitute part carries active product status and includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, making it suitable for new designs and ongoing production requirements where regulatory compliance is mandated.

Selection between these parts is determined by product lifecycle requirements: the main part number is obsolete and should not be specified for new applications, while the substitute part number is actively manufactured and supported by Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) be used as a direct replacement for ZX20-B-5S-UNIT?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters including connector type, contact configuration, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and mating cycle rating. The substitute part differs only in packaging and product status.

Q: What is the difference between ZX20-B-5S-UNIT and ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30)?

A: The primary difference is product status: ZX20-B-5S-UNIT is obsolete while ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) is active. The substitute part includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Packaging differs (bag versus unspecified for the main part). All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts maintain identical through-hole vertical mounting configuration, solder termination, and all electrical parameters. PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and identical environmental specifications.

Q: Is the substitute part available in stock?

A: ZX20-B-5S-UNIT(30) has 2312 pieces in new original stock. The obsolete main part number has 3800 pieces available but should not be specified for new applications due to its obsolete status.
