Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ZX60-B-5S(31) qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the ZX60-B-5S(01) based on the following matching electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB - micro B
• Number of Contacts: 5
• Gender: Plug
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle; Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 85°C
• Voltage - Rated: 30VAC
• Mating Cycles: 10000
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Shell/Shielding Material: Steel, Stainless
• Insulation Color: Black
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference is the current rating specification, where the substitute part supports 1.8A per contact compared to 1A per contact in the original part. This represents an increase in current capacity, making the substitute suitable for applications requiring equal or lower current specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ZX60-B-5S(31) is the recommended substitute for the obsolete ZX60-B-5S(01). The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, mounting orientation, and environmental ratings. The ZX60-B-5S(31) is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and production continuity.

The increased current rating of 1.8A per contact in the substitute part does not present a compatibility concern for applications originally designed for 1A per contact, as the substitute provides enhanced current capacity within the same physical and electrical envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ZX60-B-5S(31) be used as a direct replacement for the ZX60-B-5S(01)?

A: Yes. The ZX60-B-5S(31) is a parametric equivalent with identical connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, and environmental specifications. The substitute part is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications originally designed for the ZX60-B-5S(01).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is the current rating specification. The ZX60-B-5S(31) supports 1.8A per contact compared to 1A per contact in the ZX60-B-5S(01). Additionally, the ZX60-B-5S(31) is in active production status with Tape & Reel packaging, while the ZX60-B-5S(01) is obsolete.

Q: Are there any packaging considerations when switching to the ZX60-B-5S(31)?

A: The ZX60-B-5S(31) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. Verify that your assembly process and equipment are compatible with this packaging specification before implementation.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the ZX60-B-5S(31) affect circuit design?

A: No. The increased current capacity of the substitute part does not require circuit modifications. Applications designed for 1A per contact operation remain fully compatible with the 1.8A rated substitute.

Q: Is the ZX60-B-5S(31) RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ZX60-B-5S(31) is RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for new product designs and manufacturing.
