SLM-117-01-G-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLM-117-01-G-S is a 17-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board applications with 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch spacing. This connector features through-hole solder termination, forked gold-plated contacts, and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 1072 units in stock and maintains ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements allow flexibility in operating temperature ranges, contact finish specifications, or insulation material composition while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HRS-1B-17-GA from Adam Tech qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Matching Parameters:

• 17-position receptacle configuration
• 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch
• Forked contact type
• Board-to-board style
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Phosphor bronze contact material
• Gold-plated mating contacts
• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating

Differing Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C (vs. -55°C to 125°C)
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic (vs. Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Contact finish thickness - mating: Flash (vs. 20.0µin)
• Insulation height: 0.181" (vs. 0.180")
• Contact length - post: 0.118" (vs. 0.115")
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0 (vs. not specified)
• Current rating: 1A (vs. not specified)
• Voltage rating: 250VAC (vs. not specified)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part (SLM-117-01-G-S): Select when operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is required, or when LCP insulation material is specified for thermal or mechanical performance requirements. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Substitute Part (HRS-1B-17-GA): Select when operating temperature requirements fall within -40°C to 105°C range and thermoplastic insulation is acceptable. This substitute maintains identical connector geometry, pitch, contact configuration, and solder termination compatibility. Both parts are active production items with adequate inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HRS-1B-17-GA replace SLM-117-01-G-S in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application operating temperature range does not exceed -40°C to 105°C. If your design requires the full -55°C to 125°C range, the SLM-117-01-G-S is required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB layout?

A: Both connectors maintain 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and through-hole mounting. Minor differences exist in insulation height (0.181" vs. 0.180") and contact post length (0.118" vs. 0.115"), which do not affect standard PCB footprint compatibility for board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the difference between LCP and thermoplastic insulation?

A: LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) in the SLM-117-01-G-S provides enhanced thermal stability and dimensional consistency. The HRS-1B-17-GA uses standard thermoplastic insulation. Selection depends on thermal environment and mechanical stress requirements within the specified operating ranges.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both SLM-117-01-G-S and HRS-1B-17-GA are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What are the electrical specifications?

A: The HRS-1B-17-GA specifies 1A current rating and 250VAC voltage rating. The SLM-117-01-G-S does not provide these specifications in the available data. Verify electrical requirements against your application before substitution.
