Engineering Selection Recommendations

All Samtec SSM-112 series substitutes are active products with ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence of the 3M 960112-8100-AR-TP. Selection among substitute options depends on specific application requirements:

For applications requiring all 12 positions loaded: SSM-112-F-SH, SSM-112-F-SH-TR, SSM-112-FM-SH, SSM-112-L-SH-LC, SSM-112-L-SH-TR, and SSM-112-LM-SH-TR maintain full position loading. SSM-112-F-SH and SSM-112-F-SH-TR offer the thinnest mating contact finish (3.00µin). SSM-112-L-SH-LC includes board lock feature for enhanced mechanical retention.

For applications with 11 positions loaded: SSM-112-L-SH-010, SSM-112-L-SH-010-TR, SSM-112-L-SH-011, and SSM-112-S-SH-010 accommodate designs requiring one unloaded position. SSM-112-S-SH-010 provides the thickest mating contact finish (30.0µin) for enhanced durability.

Packaging considerations: Tape & Reel (TR) packaged options (SSM-112-F-SH-TR, SSM-112-L-SH-010-TR, SSM-112-L-SH-TR, SSM-112-LM-SH-TR) support automated assembly processes. Tube packaging is available for manual assembly workflows.

All substitutes operate across -55°C to 125°C, exceeding the original -25°C to 105°C range. Voltage rating decreases from 1000VDC to 572VDC maximum, requiring verification against application requirements. Current rating increases from 2A to 5.2A per contact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-112 series connectors directly replace the 3M 960112-8100-AR-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications using all 12 positions. The SSM-112-F-SH, SSM-112-FM-SH, SSM-112-L-SH-LC, and SSM-112-L-SH-TR maintain identical position loading. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible. Designs using only 11 positions can use SSM-112-L-SH-010, SSM-112-L-SH-011, or SSM-112-S-SH-010 variants.

Q: What is the difference between SSM-112-F-SH and SSM-112-L-SH-TR?

A: Both support all 12 positions and feature 0.100" pitch, surface mount right-angle configuration. SSM-112-F-SH uses 3.00µin mating contact finish thickness and tube packaging. SSM-112-L-SH-TR uses 10.0µin mating contact finish thickness and tape & reel packaging. Contact finish thickness affects durability and mating cycles.

Q: Does the voltage rating difference affect compatibility?

A: The original part rated 1000VDC while SSM-112 substitutes rate 572VDC maximum. Applications operating below 572VDC are fully compatible. Applications requiring higher voltage ratings cannot use these substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of the board lock feature in SSM-112-L-SH-LC?

A: The board lock feature provides mechanical retention between mated connectors, preventing accidental separation. This is specified in the part number as "-LC" suffix. Applications requiring enhanced mechanical security should select this variant.

Q: Are all SSM-112 substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all listed SSM-112 series parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original 3M 960112-8100-AR-TP does not specify RoHS status. This compliance supports modern procurement and environmental requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for automated assembly?

A: SSM-112-F-SH-TR, SSM-112-L-SH-010-TR, SSM-112-L-SH-TR, and SSM-112-LM-SH-TR are supplied in tape & reel (TR) format for automated pick-and-place assembly. Remaining variants use tube packaging for manual assembly.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The original 960112-8100-AR-TP operates -25°C to 105°C. All SSM-112 substitutes operate -55°C to 125°C, providing extended low and high temperature capability. This supports applications in wider environmental conditions.
