Engineering Selection Recommendations
All Samtec SSM-107 variants are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability and regulatory support compared to the obsolete 3M 960107-8100-AR-TP.
Selection by Application Requirements:
For applications requiring full 7-position loading with standard gold plating, select SSM-107-F-SH or SSM-107-FM-SH. These provide the most direct functional replacement with enhanced current capacity (5.2A per contact versus 2A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).
For applications with 6-position loading requirements, SSM-107-L-SH-001, SSM-107-L-SH-001-TR, SSM-107-L-SH-LC-004, and SSM-107-L-SH-LC variants are appropriate. The "-LC" suffix indicates board lock feature availability.
For tape and reel packaging in automated assembly environments, select SSM-107-L-SH-TR or SSM-107-S-SH-TR. For tube packaging, select SSM-107-L-SH-LC, SSM-107-L-SH-LC-004, or SSM-107-S-SH-LC.
Contact finish thickness selection depends on application durability requirements. Standard 10.0µin (0.25µm) plating is suitable for general applications. Enhanced 30.0µin (0.76µm) plating provides increased wear resistance for high-cycle mating applications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can SSM-107 series connectors directly replace the 960107-8100-AR-TP in existing designs?
A: Yes. All SSM-107 variants maintain identical pitch (0.100"), mounting configuration (surface mount right angle), contact type (female socket), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all core parameters.
Q: What is the difference between 6-position and 7-position loaded variants?
A: Position loading refers to the number of contact cavities populated with contacts. The 960107-8100-AR-TP uses all 7 positions. SSM-107 variants with 6-position loading have one empty cavity. For direct replacement, select 7-position loaded variants (SSM-107-F-SH, SSM-107-FM-SH, SSM-107-L-SH-LC, SSM-107-L-SH-TR, SSM-107-LM-SH, SSM-107-S-SH-LC, SSM-107-S-SH-TR).
Q: How do contact finish thickness options affect performance?
A: Contact finish thickness determines wear resistance and mating cycle durability. The original 960107-8100-AR-TP uses flash gold plating. SSM-107 variants offer 3.00µin, 10.0µin, or 30.0µin thickness. Thicker plating extends connector life in high-cycle applications but does not affect electrical performance in standard applications.
Q: What packaging options are available?
A: Tube packaging is standard for manual assembly and low-volume applications. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is specified for automated pick-and-place assembly. Select based on manufacturing process requirements.
Q: Does the board lock feature affect compatibility?
A: Board lock is an optional mechanical feature that prevents accidental connector separation. It does not affect electrical or mechanical mating compatibility. Select with or without board lock based on application requirements for connector retention.
Q: Are there voltage or current limitations when substituting?
A: The original 960107-8100-AR-TP is rated 1000VDC at 2A. SSM-107 variants are rated 572VDC and 5.2A per contact. For applications operating within 572VDC and 5.2A specifications, SSM-107 substitutes are fully qualified. Applications exceeding these ratings require alternative connector selection.
Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?
A: The 960107-8100-AR-TP operates -25°C to 105°C. All SSM-107 variants operate -55°C to 125°C, providing extended low and high temperature capability. This represents an improvement over the original specification.
