Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS-102-G-2-N are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (2), pitch specification (0.100"), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), contact finish (gold), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in board-to-board interconnect applications.

The substitutes identified are:

1. SS-102-G-2: Identical series designation with matching specifications across all critical parameters
2. HSS-102-G-2: Alternative series with equivalent functional specifications but different insulation material composition

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SS-102-G-2-N, SS-102-G-2, and HSS-102-G-2—are active products from Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

SS-102-G-2-N and SS-102-G-2 are functionally equivalent with identical insulation material composition (PBT, Glass Filled) and contact material (Beryllium Copper). These parts are interchangeable for applications where PBT insulation material is specified or preferred.

HSS-102-G-2 offers an alternative with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material and contact material composition that includes both Beryllium Copper and Brass. This part is suitable for applications where LCP insulation properties are acceptable. The REACH status differs (REACH Affected versus REACH Unaffected), which may influence selection for applications subject to REACH regulatory requirements.

All parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including operating temperature range, contact finish specifications, and pitch dimensions, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in board-to-board interconnect applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SS-102-G-2-N, SS-102-G-2, and HSS-102-G-2 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical mechanical specifications including pitch (0.100"), number of positions (2), mounting type (through hole), contact length, and insulation height. They are mechanically interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

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

A: Both parts are from the same SS series with identical specifications. The difference lies in packaging designation and inventory availability. SS-102-G-2 has higher inventory (1566 units) compared to SS-102-G-2-N (806 units).

Q: How does HSS-102-G-2 differ from the SS series parts?

A: HSS-102-G-2 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material instead of PBT, and contact material includes both Beryllium Copper and Brass. The REACH status is also different (REACH Affected). All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Can I substitute HSS-102-G-2 for SS-102-G-2-N in my application?

A: Substitution is possible if the application accepts LCP insulation material and the alternative contact material composition. Both parts meet identical operating temperature, pitch, and contact finish specifications. Verify material compatibility with your specific application requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification.

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

A: All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
