Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ZX62RD-AB-5P8(30) qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical USB 2.0 specifications, 5-position contact configuration, 1.8A current rating, and 30VAC voltage rating. Mating cycle performance (10,000 cycles) and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C) are equivalent.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors are USB micro AB receptacles with identical gender, shielding, contact finish (gold), and shell material (steel, stainless). The mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle, horizontal reverse mount) is preserved.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute part maintains the same base product number (ZX62 series) and termination method (solder). Both feature pick and place and solder retention capabilities.

Key Differentiators: The ZX62RD-AB-5P8(30) includes through-hole mounting capability in addition to surface mount, providing design flexibility. The substitute part carries Active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (14,336 pcs vs. 2,877 pcs) and ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance on the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ZX62RD-AB-5P8(30) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the ZX62R-AB-5P(30). Selection of the substitute part is justified by:

Product Lifecycle: The original part is in Last Time Buy status, indicating imminent production discontinuation. The substitute maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS coding. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (current rating, voltage, USB 2.0 specification) and mechanical parameters (connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, termination method) are identical between the two parts.

Inventory and Availability: The substitute part demonstrates significantly higher inventory levels (14,336 pcs vs. 2,877 pcs), reducing procurement risk and lead time variability.

Design Flexibility: The substitute part adds through-hole mounting capability while maintaining surface mount compatibility, providing additional design options without compromising existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ZX62RD-AB-5P8(30) be used as a direct replacement for the ZX62R-AB-5P(30) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 1.8A, 30VAC), mechanical configuration (5-position micro AB receptacle, surface mount right angle), and operating parameters (-30°C ~ 85°C, 10,000 mating cycles). The substitute part is electrically and mechanically equivalent for all surface mount applications.

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

A: The primary difference is product status and mounting options. The ZX62RD-AB-5P8(30) includes both surface mount and through-hole mounting capabilities, while the ZX62R-AB-5P(30) is surface mount only. The substitute part is in Active production status versus Last Time Buy for the original part.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are EAR99 classified and share identical HTSUS coding. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the original part. Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The substitute part is REACH Unaffected.

Q: Will PCB layout changes be required to use the substitute part?

A: For surface mount applications, no PCB layout changes are required. Both parts maintain identical surface mount, right-angle, horizontal reverse mount configuration. If through-hole mounting capability is desired, the substitute part's additional through-hole option may be utilized with appropriate PCB design modifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The ZX62R-AB-5P(30) has 2,877 pcs available in new original condition. The ZX62RD-AB-5P8(30) has 14,336 pcs available in new original condition, providing substantially higher availability for production planning.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels different?

A: Yes. The original part carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. The substitute part is listed as Not Applicable for MSL, which is consistent with connector-class components that do not require moisture-sensitive device handling.
