Engineering Selection Recommendations
All Samtec SSM-117 series substitutes maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain stability. The 3M 963117-2000-AR-TP obsolete status necessitates transition to equivalent parts for new production and long-term support.
For direct functional replacement with enhanced specifications:
- SSM-117-F-SV, SSM-117-F-SV-P, or SSM-117-FM-SV provide pass-through configurations with superior current rating (5.2A per contact vs. 2A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -25°C to 105°C).
For bottom entry applications requiring mechanical retention:
- SSM-117-L-SV-BE-P or SSM-117-L-SV-BE-P-TR offer board-to-board or cable connectivity with pick-and-place compatibility.
- SSM-117-L-SV-BE-LC-P-TR includes board lock feature for enhanced mechanical stability.
For tape and reel packaging in automated assembly:
- SSM-117-L-SV-K-TR, SSM-117-L-SV-BE-P-TR, and SSM-117-L-SV-BE-LC-P-TR provide continuous reel format for high-volume production.
For reduced position loading applications:
- SSM-117-L-SV-010-TR accommodates 16-position loading within 17-position housing.
All substitutes share identical mating pitch (0.100"), contact geometry (square), fastening mechanism (push-pull), and gold-plated mating surfaces, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing connector interfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can SSM-117 series connectors directly replace the 3M 963117-2000-AR-TP in existing designs?
A: Yes. Both connector families maintain identical 17-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, female socket contacts, surface mount termination, and push-pull fastening. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible. Insulation height variance (0.295" vs. 0.290") is within typical PCB layout tolerances.
Q: What are the key differences between pass-through and bottom entry SSM-117 variants?
A: Pass-through connectors (SSM-117-F-SV, SSM-117-FM-SV, SSM-117-L-SV-K series) allow mating from either side of the PCB. Bottom entry connectors (SSM-117-L-SV-BE series) restrict mating access to the bottom side only, providing mechanical constraint. Bottom entry variants with board lock features (SSM-117-L-SV-BE-LC-P-TR) add positive retention for high-vibration applications.
Q: How do packaging options affect component selection?
A: Bulk packaging (SSM-117-L-SV-BE-P) suits low-volume or prototype applications. Tape and reel (TR) packaging (SSM-117-L-SV-K-TR, SSM-117-L-SV-BE-P-TR, SSM-117-L-SV-BE-LC-P-TR) enables automated pick-and-place assembly for production volumes. Tube packaging (SSM-117-F-SV) provides intermediate volume handling.
Q: What is the significance of the "-010" designation in SSM-117-L-SV-010-TR?
A: This variant loads 16 of the 17 available positions. Use this part only when your application requires 16-position connectivity within a 17-position housing footprint.
Q: Are SSM-117 substitutes rated for the same voltage and current as the 3M 963117-2000-AR-TP?
A: SSM-117 series provides higher current rating (5.2A per contact vs. 2A) and lower voltage rating (405VAC/572VDC vs. 1000VDC). Verify your application requirements against these specifications. For applications requiring 1000VDC rating, SSM-117 series may not be suitable.
Q: What compliance certifications apply to SSM-117 substitutes?
A: All active SSM-117 variants carry ROHS3 compliance. The original 3M part compliance status is not specified in available documentation.
Q: How does insulation material affect connector performance?
A: SSM-117 series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, providing superior thermal stability and dimensional consistency compared to the thermoplastic insulation in the 3M 963117-2000-AR-TP. LCP material supports the extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) of Samtec parts.
