SS-105-T-22 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS-105-T-22 is a 5-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 mating contacts and tin-plated posts for reliable solder termination. The part is currently active in production with 1,095 units in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when procurement lead times require alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits selection from compatible connector variants within the same series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS-105-T-22 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 5 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact Finish Specifications: Gold-plated mating surface at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation Material: PBT glass-filled construction

The substitute part SS-105-T-2-N meets all these criteria, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical compatibility within the SS series connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS-105-T-2-N serves as a direct functional equivalent to the SS-105-T-22. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the same SS series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Primary Consideration: The SS-105-T-22 maintains active production status, while the SS-105-T-2-N is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the SS-105-T-22 is the preferred selection due to ongoing availability and supply chain stability.

Substitute Application: The SS-105-T-2-N is suitable for applications where existing inventory is available and design compatibility with the SS-105-T-22 has been established. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the SS-105-T-22 and SS-105-T-2-N mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (5), mounting type (through-hole), and physical dimensions including insulation height (0.100") and contact length (0.125"). They are mechanically interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

Q: Do these parts have the same electrical performance?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical contact materials (beryllium copper), mating contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The SS-105-T-22 is currently active in production, while the SS-105-T-2-N is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. All technical specifications, compliance certifications, and performance characteristics are identical.

Q: Can I use SS-105-T-2-N in a new design if SS-105-T-22 is specified?

A: Functionally, yes. However, the SS-105-T-2-N is discontinued, which presents supply chain risk. For new designs, specify the SS-105-T-22 to ensure long-term component availability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SS-105-T-22 and SS-105-T-2-N are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).
