Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 147734-7 with the Samtec SSM-108-L-DH-TR is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Matched Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 16
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating: 10.0µin (0.25µm)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Shape: Square

Both connectors are board-to-board receptacle solutions with identical mating pitch, row configuration, and thermal operating range. The substitute part maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through equivalent contact geometry and material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 147734-7 is the primary component selection when RoHS non-compliant specifications are acceptable within the application design and regulatory framework. This part is Active in product status with established inventory availability.

Samtec SSM-108-L-DH-TR serves as the substitute part when ROHS3 compliance is required. The substitute maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical mating pitch, row configuration, contact geometry, and operating temperature range. The Samtec part provides higher current rating (5.2A per Contact versus 2A) and specified voltage ratings (405VAC, 572VDC), offering enhanced electrical performance margins. The substitute uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material in place of PCT polyester, providing improved thermal and mechanical properties. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for the substitute part.

Selection between these parts is determined by compliance requirements and electrical performance specifications of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the TE Connectivity 147734-7 and Samtec SSM-108-L-DH-TR mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows), number of positions (16), mounting type (Surface Mount Right Angle), and contact geometry (square phosphor bronze). Insulation height differs by 0.013" (0.33mm), which does not affect mating compatibility. PCB footprints are compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and electrical performance ratings. The Samtec SSM-108-L-DH-TR is ROHS3 compliant, while the TE Connectivity 147734-7 is RoHS non-compliant. The Samtec part provides higher current rating (5.2A per Contact) and specified voltage ratings (405VAC, 572VDC) compared to the TE part (2A current rating, no voltage specification). Insulation material differs: Samtec uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) versus TE's PCT polyester with glass filler.

Q: Can the Samtec SSM-108-L-DH-TR be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application does not require RoHS non-compliant components. The substitute part maintains all critical mating parameters and contact specifications. Verify that the higher current rating and voltage specifications do not create design conflicts in the application circuit. Tape & Reel packaging of the substitute part is standard for production environments.

Q: What are the contact finish specifications for both connectors?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated mating contacts with 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness. Post contacts are tin-plated on both parts. The TE Connectivity part specifies 150.0µin (3.81µm) post finish thickness; the Samtec part does not specify post finish thickness.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations when substituting these parts?

A: Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Both have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited). No additional environmental limitations apply to substitution based on provided specifications.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The TE Connectivity 147734-7 packaging format is not specified in the provided data. The Samtec SSM-108-L-DH-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for surface mount production applications.
