Engineering Selection Recommendations
All Samtec Tiger Claw™ SSM series substitutes listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability and regulatory support. The 3M 963112-2000-AR-TP obsolete status necessitates transition to an active equivalent.
For bottom entry applications: SSM-112-F-SV-BE-LC-K provides direct mechanical compatibility with board lock and pick-and-place features.
For pass-through applications: SSM-112-F-SV offers the baseline pass-through configuration. Variants with board lock (SSM-112-F-SV-LC, SSM-112-F-SV-LC-P) provide mechanical retention. Pick-and-place variants (SSM-112-F-SV-K, SSM-112-F-SV-LC-P) support automated assembly.
For packaging requirements: Tube packaging is available in SSM-112-F-SV, SSM-112-F-SV-LC, and SSM-112-FM-SV. Tape & Reel packaging is available in SSM-112-F-SV-K-TR and SSM-112-F-SV-LC-P-TR. Bulk packaging is available in SSM-112-F-SV-K.
For 11-position loaded configurations: SSM-112-F-SV-002 and SSM-112-L-SV-001-P-TR accommodate applications requiring one unloaded position.
All substitutes exceed the original part's current rating (5.2A per contact vs. 2A) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -25°C to 105°C), supporting broader application requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can Samtec SSM-112 series connectors directly replace the 3M 963112-2000-AR-TP?
A: Yes. All listed Samtec substitutes maintain the 12-position, 0.100" pitch, female socket, surface mount solder termination, and push-pull fastening interface. Mechanical entry configuration (pass-through vs. bottom entry) varies by part number and must align with board design.
Q: What is the difference between pass-through and bottom entry configurations?
A: Pass-through connectors allow mating from either side of the board. Bottom entry connectors restrict mating access to the bottom side only. Select based on PCB layout and assembly requirements.
Q: Do all substitutes support the same current and voltage ratings?
A: No. The original 3M part is rated 2A at 1000VDC. Samtec substitutes are rated 5.2A per contact at 405VAC or 572VDC. Verify application requirements before selection.
Q: What packaging options are available?
A: Tube, Bulk, and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging are available across the substitute range. Tape & Reel is specified with the "-TR" suffix. Select based on assembly process and volume requirements.
Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All listed Samtec Tiger Claw™ SSM series parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.
Q: What do the board lock and pick-and-place features provide?
A: Board lock (LC suffix) provides mechanical retention during assembly. Pick-and-place (P or K suffix) indicates compatibility with automated placement equipment. These features are optional and depend on assembly process requirements.
Q: Can I use a 12-position loaded part in place of an 11-position loaded variant?
A: Yes, if the application does not require the unloaded position. SSM-112-F-SV-002 and SSM-112-L-SV-001-P-TR provide 11-position loaded configurations for applications with specific position requirements.
