Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both IPL1-104-01-SM-S-RA-K and IPL1-104-01-S-S-RA-K are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 requirements and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences. The IPL1-104-01-SM-S-RA-K offers 1900 units in stock, while the IPL1-104-01-S-S-RA-K provides 1009 units. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring rectangular connectors with 4-position, 0.100" pitch headers in through-hole, right-angle configurations with solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are IPL1-104-01-SM-S-RA-K and IPL1-104-01-S-S-RA-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings (675VAC, 954VDC), operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C), contact materials (Phosphor Bronze), and contact finishes (Gold mating, Tin post). They are electrically equivalent for all applications within these specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical parameters including pitch (0.100"), number of positions (4), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), shrouding (4 Wall), and contact dimensions. PCB footprints designed for one part accommodate the other without modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ in their designation codes (SM-S versus S-S), but all specified electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical. The difference reflects internal Samtec product line coding and does not affect functional performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both IPL1-104-01-SM-S-RA-K and IPL1-104-01-S-S-RA-K are ROHS3 Compliant with UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: Selection should be based on current inventory requirements. IPL1-104-01-SM-S-RA-K has 1900 units in stock, while IPL1-104-01-S-S-RA-K has 1009 units available. Both are active products suitable for immediate procurement.
