Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ZX62-AB-5PA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Specifications: USB micro AB receptacle, USB 2.0 compliant
• Physical Configuration: 5-position, surface mount, right-angle orientation
• Electrical Performance: Current rating of 1A per contact minimum, 30V rated voltage
• Mechanical Durability: 10000 mating cycles
• Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature -30°C ~ 85°C, MSL 1
• Termination & Finish: Solder termination with gold-plated contacts
• Material Standards: Stainless steel shell construction

The substitute part 1981584-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all these criteria and is classified as an MFR Recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1981584-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) is the recommended substitute for the obsolete ZX62-AB-5PA. This selection is based on:

• Functional Equivalence: Identical USB 2.0 micro AB receptacle configuration with matching electrical and mechanical specifications
• Product Availability: Active product status with 4506 units in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity
• Compliance & Certification: RoHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements; ECCN EAR99 classification matches the original part
• Reliability Metrics: Equivalent mating cycle rating (10000) and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Packaging: Available in Cut Tape (CT) format suitable for automated assembly processes

The substitute part supports the full range of current ratings (0.5A, 1A, 1.8A), with the 1A rating directly matching the original specification. No design modifications are required for direct substitution in existing PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1981584-1 be used as a direct replacement for the ZX62-AB-5PA?

A: Yes. Both connectors are USB 2.0 micro AB receptacles with identical 5-position, surface mount, right-angle configurations. Electrical ratings, operating temperature range, and mechanical durability specifications are equivalent. No PCB redesign is necessary.

Q: What is the difference in current rating options between the two parts?
