Equivalent & Substitute Parts for SS-102-G-22

Part Overview

The SS-102-G-22 is a 2-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This connector features gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and is classified as Active product status. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, specific insulation material requirements, or design optimization for high-temperature applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent parts for the SS-102-G-22 are determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Connector Type & Contact Type: Receptacle with female socket contacts
Number of Positions: 2-position configuration
Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) standard spacing
Mounting Type: Through hole solder termination
Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating surfaces
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
Style: Board-to-board connectivity

Substitute parts SS-102-G-2 and HSS-102-G-2 maintain these critical parameters. Variations in insulation material (PBT Glass Filled versus Liquid Crystal Polymer) and contact material composition (beryllium copper alone versus beryllium copper with brass) represent acceptable substitutions within the same electrical and mechanical performance envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SS-102-G-22, SS-102-G-2, and HSS-102-G-2—are Active status products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

SS-102-G-22 and SS-102-G-2 are functionally identical, both utilizing PBT glass-filled insulation material and beryllium copper contacts. Selection between these two is based on inventory availability and packaging requirements.

HSS-102-G-2 represents an alternative with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material and composite contact material (beryllium copper with brass). The HSS series designation indicates high-temperature screw-terminal design characteristics. This part is suitable for applications where LCP insulation properties are preferred or where composite contact materials meet specific performance criteria.

All three parts satisfy the same electrical and mechanical interface requirements for 2-position, 0.100" pitch board-to-board receptacle applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS-102-G-2 be used as a direct replacement for SS-102-G-22?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and operating temperature range. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary difference between SS-102-G-2 and HSS-102-G-2?

A: The primary differences are insulation material (PBT glass-filled versus Liquid Crystal Polymer) and contact material composition (beryllium copper alone versus beryllium copper with brass). Both maintain the same electrical performance and temperature rating.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. SS-102-G-22, SS-102-G-2, and HSS-102-G-2 are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What does MSL rating 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: MSL 1 indicates these connectors have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling.

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

A: All three parts operate across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range. The HSS-102-G-2 designation indicates suitability for high-temperature environments, though all parts meet this specification.

Q: Are there any REACH or ECCN considerations for these parts?

A: SS-102-G-22 and SS-102-G-2 are classified under ECCN EAR99. HSS-102-G-2 is REACH Affected. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application and jurisdiction.
