Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ZX62M-B-5P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector type (USB - micro B receptacle), contact count (5 positions), gender (receptacle), USB specification (2.0), mounting configuration (board edge cutout with surface mount right angle), and mounting feature (horizontal mid mount) must remain identical. Electrical parameters including voltage rating (30VAC), mating cycle rating (10,000), shielding type (shielded), contact finish (gold), shell material (steel, stainless), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) establish the functional and environmental baseline. Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), insulation color (black), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) must be maintained.

The substitute part ZX62M-B-5P(30) meets all these criteria while offering improved current rating (1.8A per contact versus 1A) and active product status with RoHS3 compliance, making it a direct parametric equivalent suitable for replacement in new designs and legacy system updates.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ZX62M-B-5P(30) is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete ZX62M-B-5P. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: connector type, contact configuration, mounting geometry, voltage and current ratings, mating cycle performance, and environmental operating range.

The ZX62M-B-5P(30) provides enhanced current capacity (1.8A per contact) compared to the original part (1A per contact), representing a performance improvement suitable for applications requiring higher current delivery. The substitute part maintains active product status with RoHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new production and legacy system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ZX62M-B-5P(30) be used as a direct replacement for ZX62M-B-5P?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in connector type (USB micro B receptacle), contact count (5), mounting configuration (board edge cutout, surface mount right angle), electrical ratings (30VAC, 10,000 mating cycles), and environmental specifications (operating temperature -30°C to 85°C, MSL 1). The substitute part offers higher current rating (1.8A versus 1A per contact).

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The ZX62M-B-5P is obsolete. The ZX62M-B-5P(30) is an active equivalent that maintains all functional and mechanical parameters while providing improved current capacity and RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The ZX62M-B-5P(30) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the higher current rating of ZX62M-B-5P(30) affect compatibility?

A: No. Higher current rating is a performance enhancement that does not compromise compatibility. Applications designed for 1A operation will function correctly with the 1.8A rated substitute.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The ZX62M-B-5P(30) is explicitly RoHS3 compliant. RoHS status for the original ZX62M-B-5P is not specified in available documentation.
