Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS-112-S-2-N is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact finish specifications (Gold mating, Tin post)
• Insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3)

The SS-112-S-2 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent part within the Samtec SS series.
