Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ZX62-AB-5PA(11) is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: USB - micro AB (exact match required)
• Number of Contacts: 5 (exact match required)
• Gender: Receptacle (exact match required)
• Specifications: USB 2.0 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle (exact match required)
• Mounting Feature: Bottom Mount, Horizontal (exact match required)
• Termination: Solder (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating: 1.8A minimum
• Voltage - Rated: 30VAC minimum
• Operating Temperature: -30°C ~ 85°C (minimum range)
• Mating Cycles: 10,000 (minimum)
• Shielding: Shielded (required)
• Contact Finish: Gold (required)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (required)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: ZX62-AB-5PA(31) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd and USB3085-30-A from GCT. Both maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ZX62-AB-5PA(31) (Hirose Electric Co Ltd)

This part is a direct parametric equivalent to the ZX62-AB-5PA(11), maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The primary advantage is active product status with confirmed inventory availability of 8,850 pieces. The part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is supplied in Cut Tape packaging. Selection of this substitute provides continuity within the Hirose ZX series platform while ensuring long-term supply chain stability.

USB3085-30-A (GCT)

This part meets all critical substitution parameters and offers active product status with 8,690 pieces in inventory. The USB3085-30-A is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and carries ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction is manufacturer change from Hirose to GCT, with insulation color specified as Black rather than Gray. This substitute is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer qualification is acceptable and Tape & Reel packaging is preferred for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ZX62-AB-5PA(31) be used as a direct replacement for ZX62-AB-5PA(11)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact count, gender, USB 2.0 specification, surface mount right-angle configuration, and all critical electrical parameters. The primary difference is product status: ZX62-AB-5PA(11) is obsolete while ZX62-AB-5PA(31) is active with confirmed availability.

Q: What is the difference between the two Hirose variants?

A: ZX62-AB-5PA(11) and ZX62-AB-5PA(31) differ only in packaging designation and product status. The "(11)" and "(31)" suffixes indicate different packaging configurations. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and mating cycle rating.

Q: Can USB3085-30-A replace ZX62-AB-5PA(11) in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided cross-manufacturer qualification is acceptable. USB3085-30-A meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The connector type, contact configuration, USB 2.0 specification, mounting method, and performance ratings are identical. Insulation color differs (Black vs. Gray), which is a cosmetic distinction without functional impact.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: ZX62-AB-5PA(31) is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. USB3085-30-A is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume considerations.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both ZX62-AB-5PA(31) and USB3085-30-A carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The original ZX62-AB-5PA(11) RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the current rating difference between ZX62-AB-5PA(31) and USB3085-30-A?

A: ZX62-AB-5PA(31) is rated at 1A per contact. USB3085-30-A is rated at 1A and 1.8A, matching the original ZX62-AB-5PA(11) rating of 1.8A. For applications requiring the full 1.8A rating, USB3085-30-A provides direct current capacity alignment.
