SNT-100-OR-T-H Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SNT-100-OR-T-H is a 2-position shunt connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component features an open top grip design with orange housing and tin-plated contacts rated for 4.3A per contact. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SNT-100-OR-T-H is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Series: SNT (same connector family)
• Number of Positions: 2 (1 x 2) configuration
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Type: Open Top, Grip design
• Gender: Female Sockets
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Current Rating: 4.3A per Contact
• Housing Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The SNT-100-BK-T-H meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. The primary difference is housing color (black versus orange) and physical height, neither of which affects electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SNT-100-BK-T-H is a direct functional equivalent to the SNT-100-OR-T-H for applications requiring a 2-position shunt connector with 0.100" pitch and 4.3A contact rating. The substitute part maintains identical electrical specifications, material composition, and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, MSL 1).

The SNT-100-BK-T-H holds active product status with Samtec Inc., ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete SNT-100-OR-T-H. The reduced height (0.240" versus 0.550") may provide design advantages in space-constrained applications, though mechanical clearance must be verified for existing designs.

Selection between these parts should be based on physical space constraints and any color-coding requirements specific to the application. Electrical performance and reliability characteristics are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SNT-100-BK-T-H replace SNT-100-OR-T-H in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (4.3A per contact), pitch (0.100"), position count (2), contact finish (tin), housing material (PBT), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The primary differences are housing color and physical height. Mechanical fit must be verified if height is a constraint in the application.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The SNT-100-OR-T-H has a height of 0.550" (13.97mm), while the SNT-100-BK-T-H measures 0.240" (6.10mm). This difference may affect board-level clearance and component stacking. Applications with tight vertical space requirements may benefit from the lower profile of the SNT-100-BK-T-H.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SNT-100-OR-T-H and SNT-100-BK-T-H are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: Why is SNT-100-OR-T-H classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The SNT-100-BK-T-H remains in active production, providing a viable path for continued component sourcing and system support.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with these connectors?

A: No. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling or storage requirements during manufacturing, assembly, or field deployment.
