Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS-106-T-22 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 6 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact Finish Specifications: Gold-plated mating surface with tin-plated posts
• Electrical & Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C
• Material & Compliance: PBT glass-filled insulation, ROHS3 compliant

The SS-106-T-2-N qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SS-106), series designation, and functional characteristics required for board-to-board interconnection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS-106-T-2-N is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the SS-106-T-22 across all specified parameters. Both parts maintain identical contact configurations, pitch spacing, termination methods, and environmental ratings. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

The primary distinction is product status: the SS-106-T-22 remains active in production, while the SS-106-T-2-N is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the SS-106-T-22 is the preferred selection due to active manufacturing status and assured supply continuity. The SS-106-T-2-N may be considered for legacy system maintenance or where existing inventory is available and supply chain constraints necessitate alternative sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the SS-106-T-22 and SS-106-T-2-N mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 6-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole mounting footprint, and insulation dimensions. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: Do these connectors have the same electrical performance?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical contact materials (beryllium copper), contact finishes (gold mating, tin post), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Electrical performance is equivalent.

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

A: The SS-106-T-22 and SS-106-T-2-N are variants within the same SS-106 base product family. The primary difference is product status: SS-106-T-22 is currently active in production, while SS-106-T-2-N is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use SS-106-T-2-N in a design currently specified for SS-106-T-22?

A: From an electrical and mechanical standpoint, yes. However, supply chain considerations apply. The SS-106-T-22 is recommended for new designs due to active production status. The SS-106-T-2-N should only be used if existing inventory is available and supply constraints justify the substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SS-106-T-22 and SS-106-T-2-N are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: Both connectors operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, which is the standard spacing for this connector family.
