Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS-101-S-2-N is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: manufacturer (Samtec Inc.), product series (SS), connector type (Receptacle), contact type (Female Socket), number of positions (1), mounting method (Through Hole), termination process (Solder), fastening mechanism (Push-Pull), mating contact finish (Gold at 10.0µin thickness), insulation height (0.100"), contact post length (0.125"), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), insulation material (PBT Glass Filled), contact material (Beryllium Copper), and contact shape (Circular).

The SS-101-S-22 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical specifications across all these critical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SS-101), belong to the same Socket Strips product line, and exhibit identical electrical and mechanical characteristics. The substitution is valid at the component level without requiring design modifications or performance re-evaluation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SS-101-S-2-N and SS-101-S-22 maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. The SS-101-S-22 offers higher current inventory availability (1260 Pcs versus 765 Pcs), providing supply chain flexibility for high-volume production requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead time, as electrical and mechanical performance characteristics are identical. Both parts satisfy identical regulatory and environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS-101-S-22 be used as a direct replacement for SS-101-S-2-N in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, termination process, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish or plating specifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold mating contact finish at 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness and tin post finish. Contact material, shape, and dimensions are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and environmental standards?

A: Yes. Both SS-101-S-2-N and SS-101-S-22 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, indicating identical regulatory and moisture sensitivity classifications.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes?

A: The suffix variation (S-2-N versus S-22) reflects internal Samtec product line designations but does not indicate functional or performance differences. Both parts belong to the same SS series and maintain identical specifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new procurement?

A: Selection should prioritize inventory availability and supplier lead times. The SS-101-S-22 currently maintains higher stock levels, supporting faster fulfillment for production schedules.
