Engineering Selection Recommendations
All Samtec Tiger Claw™ SSM series receptacles listed above are active, production-qualified alternatives to the obsolete 3M 960116-8100-AR-TP. Selection among these substitutes depends on specific application requirements:
For applications requiring all 16 positions loaded: SSM-116-F-SH, SSM-116-F-SH-TR, SSM-116-FM-SH, SSM-116-L-SH-LC, SSM-116-L-SH-TR, or SSM-116-LM-SH.
For applications requiring 15 positions loaded: SSM-116-L-SH-010, SSM-116-L-SH-010-TR, SSM-116-LM-SH-001, or SSM-116-S-SH-010.
For packaging considerations: Tube packaging is available in SSM-116-F-SH and SSM-116-L-SH-LC. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is available in SSM-116-F-SH-TR, SSM-116-L-SH-010-TR, and SSM-116-L-SH-TR.
For board-lock feature: SSM-116-L-SH-LC includes board lock functionality.
All substitutes provide ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, matching the environmental requirements of the original part. The Samtec alternatives offer enhanced operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -25°C to 105°C) and higher current capacity (5.2A per contact versus 2A), providing improved performance margins for new designs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can SSM-116 series connectors directly replace the 3M 960116-8100-AR-TP in existing designs?
A: Yes. All SSM-116 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical interfaces: 16-position, 0.100" pitch, surface mount right-angle configuration, gold-plated mating contacts, and push-pull fastening. PCB footprints and mating connector compatibility remain unchanged.
Q: What is the difference between parts loaded with 15 positions versus all 16 positions?
A: Parts designated with position-loading suffixes (such as -010 indicating 15 positions) have one position left empty in the connector body. This is a mechanical variation only and does not affect electrical performance for applications using 15 or fewer signal lines. Full 16-position variants accommodate all 16 contact positions.
Q: How do contact finish thickness variations affect substitution?
A: Contact finish thickness (measured in microinches) does not affect mechanical compatibility or basic electrical function. Thicker gold plating (such as 30.0µin in SSM-116-S-SH-010) provides enhanced wear resistance and contact durability in high-cycle mating applications. Thinner finishes (3.00µin to 10.0µin) are suitable for standard applications with moderate mating cycles.
Q: What packaging options are available?
A: Tube packaging is standard for most variants. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is available for SSM-116-F-SH-TR, SSM-116-L-SH-010-TR, and SSM-116-L-SH-TR, suitable for automated assembly processes.
Q: Are all SSM-116 substitutes RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All listed Samtec SSM-116 variants are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) rating, meeting modern environmental and reliability standards.
Q: How do operating temperature ranges compare?
A: The original 3M part operates from -25°C to 105°C. All Samtec SSM-116 substitutes operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing a wider temperature envelope suitable for extended environmental applications.
