Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ZX80-B-5S(30) is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Identical USB 2.0 specification, 5-position contact configuration, 1.8A current rating, and 30VAC voltage rating ensure electrical compatibility.

Mechanical Parameters: Both parts share identical connector type (USB Micro B plug), mounting configuration (surface mount and through-hole), flange and vertical orientation, and termination method (solder).

Environmental & Compliance Parameters: Matching operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), mating cycle rating (10000), shielding type (shielded), contact finish (gold), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) confirm environmental and regulatory equivalence.

Key Differentiator: The primary distinction is product status. The ZX80-B-5S is obsolete, while ZX80-B-5S(30) is active, with improved inventory availability (1965 pcs vs. 767 pcs) and additional compliance certifications (RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ZX80-B-5S(30) is the direct manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete ZX80-B-5S. Selection of the substitute part is justified on the following grounds:

Product Status: The ZX80-B-5S is obsolete, limiting long-term availability and support. The ZX80-B-5S(30) maintains active status with manufacturer support and significantly higher inventory levels.

Regulatory Compliance: The ZX80-B-5S(30) carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and production runs.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (USB 2.0, 5-position, 1.8A, 30VAC) and mechanical specifications (connector type, mounting configuration, termination) are identical, ensuring direct functional replacement without circuit redesign.

Reliability Metrics: Identical operating temperature range, mating cycle rating, shielding, and contact finish specifications confirm equivalent performance and longevity characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ZX80-B-5S(30) be used as a direct replacement for ZX80-B-5S in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The ZX80-B-5S(30) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and requires no circuit or layout modifications.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), packaging (unspecified vs. bag), inventory availability, and regulatory certifications. The ZX80-B-5S(30) includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the packaging change?

A: The ZX80-B-5S(30) is packaged in bags, which is standard for active production parts. This does not affect connector performance or compatibility. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The ZX80-B-5S is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (767 pcs). The ZX80-B-5S(30) is active with significantly higher availability (1965 pcs). For new production, the ZX80-B-5S(30) is the recommended choice.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Both parts meet identical environmental specifications (operating temperature -30°C to 85°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1). The ZX80-B-5S(30) additionally carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, making it suitable for regulated markets and applications.

Q: What are the electrical specifications for these USB 2.0 Micro B connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 1.8A at 30VAC with USB 2.0 specification compliance. The 5-position shielded configuration with gold-plated contacts supports standard USB 2.0 data and power delivery applications.
