MMS-115-01-L-SH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MMS-115-01-L-SH is a 15-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with through-hole, right-angle mounting. This connector features a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, and a current rating of 3.9A per contact, operating across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 781 units in stock. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required, or when design flexibility permits component standardization across production batches.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MMS-115-01-L-SH is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (15)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Contact finish at mating surface (Gold)
• Current rating per contact (3.9A minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C minimum)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Deviations in any single parameter disqualify a part from substitution consideration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part MMS-115-01-L-SH maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part specification. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the MMS series and share identical dimensional, electrical, and material characteristics. The primary distinction is product status: the main part is currently active in production, while the substitute is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, confirming regulatory alignment. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance, as all specified parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the substitute part MMS-115-01-L-SH be used interchangeably with the main part?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical, mechanical, and material specifications. They share the same pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), contact configuration (15-position female socket), mounting type (through-hole right angle), current rating (3.9A per contact), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: What is the difference between the main part and the substitute?

A: The substitute part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while the main part remains in active production. Inventory levels differ: 781 units for the main part versus 1045 units for the substitute. All technical specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the main part and substitute are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Does the gold plating thickness affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. Both parts specify identical gold plating thickness at the mating contact surface: 10.0µin (0.25µm). This parameter is matched across both parts.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, supporting applications requiring extended thermal performance within this specification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
