Equivalent & Substitute Parts for ZX80-B-5P

Part Overview

The ZX80-B-5P is a USB 2.0 micro B receptacle connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for 5-position surface mount and through-hole applications. This connector is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active alternative components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility. Substitute parts must preserve the core functional parameters: USB 2.0 specification, 5-position micro B receptacle configuration, vertical mounting orientation, and solder termination capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ZX80-B-5P is determined by strict alignment with the following mandatory parameters:

• Connector Type: USB - micro B receptacle
• Number of Contacts: 5 positions
• Specifications: USB 2.0 compliance
• Mounting Feature: Vertical orientation
• Termination: Solder
• Current Rating: Minimum 1.8A capability
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 30V
• Mating Cycles: Minimum 10000 cycles
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Shell Material: Steel or Stainless Steel
• Flammability: UL94 V-0 rating

Three substitute parts meet these criteria and are grouped as follows:

Group 1 - Direct Hirose Equivalent: ZX80-B-5P(30) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status and improved packaging (Tray).

Group 2 - GCT Through-Hole Alternative: USB3130-30-A provides through-hole mounting with extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) and active status.

Group 3 - GCT Surface Mount Alternative: USB3140-30-0170-1-C combines surface mount and through-hole capability with pick-and-place features and active status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts satisfy the mandatory electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements for the obsolete ZX80-B-5P. Selection criteria are based on product status, regulatory compliance, and application-specific mounting requirements.

ZX80-B-5P(30) is the primary recommended substitute. It is manufactured by the original equipment supplier (Hirose Electric Co Ltd), maintains identical specifications, and carries active product status with ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications. This part is optimal for direct replacement in existing designs without layout modification.

USB3130-30-A is suitable for applications requiring through-hole mounting exclusively. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) provides thermal margin beyond the original specification. This part carries active status with full regulatory compliance and is available in Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly.

USB3140-30-0170-1-C accommodates both surface mount and through-hole mounting configurations with pick-and-place capability. This part is appropriate for flexible PCB designs requiring mixed mounting strategies. Active product status and full regulatory compliance are confirmed.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB3130-30-A replace ZX80-B-5P in a surface mount application?

A: No. USB3130-30-A supports through-hole mounting only. For surface mount applications, use ZX80-B-5P(30) or USB3140-30-0170-1-C.

Q: What is the difference between ZX80-B-5P and ZX80-B-5P(30)?

A: ZX80-B-5P(30) is the active production variant of the same connector series. Both share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging format (Tray vs. unspecified).

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ZX80-B-5P(30), USB3130-30-A, and USB3140-30-0170-1-C are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which substitute part has the widest operating temperature range?

A: USB3130-30-A operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to -30°C to 85°C for the other parts. This extended range is applicable only if the application requires sub-zero thermal performance.

Q: Can GCT parts be used interchangeably with Hirose parts?

A: GCT USB3130-30-A and USB3140-30-0170-1-C are functionally equivalent to ZX80-B-5P within the specified parameters. However, physical footprint and PCB layout compatibility must be verified during design integration, as manufacturers may have minor dimensional variations.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: ZX80-B-5P(30) is supplied in Tray packaging. USB3130-30-A and USB3140-30-0170-1-C are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated pick-and-place assembly.
