Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SS-132-G-18 is identified as an equivalent substitute for the SS-132-G-29 based on strict parameter alignment. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical substitution criteria:

• Connector type, contact type, and style (Receptacle, Female Socket, Board to Board)
• Position count and pitch (32 positions, 0.100" mating pitch)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, single row)
• Contact materials and finishes (Beryllium Copper with gold plating at 30.0µin mating thickness)
• Insulation specifications (PBT glass-filled, black, 0.100" height)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1)

These parameters define the functional and mechanical compatibility envelope for substitution within the SS series rectangular connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SS-132-G-29 and SS-132-G-18 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, indicating equivalent environmental and regulatory standing. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The SS-132-G-18 currently maintains higher inventory levels (1060 pcs vs. 889 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 32-position board-to-board connectivity with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening within the -55°C to 125°C operating range.
