Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SS20M1G5 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Contact type (Socket)
• Contact size (16)
• Wire gauge range (20-22 AWG / 0.34 ~ 0.5mm²)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Contact material (Copper Alloy)
• Contact finish (Gold at 5.00µin thickness)
• Series compatibility (ecomate® Aquarius™)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The SS20M2G5 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status, with SS20M2G5 available in active production status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS20M2G5 is the direct equivalent for SS20M1G5 applications. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the ecomate® Aquarius™ series. The SS20M2G5 is preferred for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and availability in Tape & Reel packaging, which supports automated assembly processes. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS20M2G5 be used as a direct replacement for SS20M1G5? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including contact size, wire gauge range, termination method, material composition, and finish specifications. The primary difference is product status and packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts? A: SS20M1G5 uses standard packaging, while SS20M2G5 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations. Selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts? A: No. Both SS20M1G5 and SS20M2G5 maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) is equivalent for both parts.

Q: Why is SS20M1G5 listed as obsolete? A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturing discontinuation. The SS20M2G5 remains in active production and provides full functional equivalence for all applications previously served by SS20M1G5.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these socket contacts? A: Both parts accommodate 20-22 AWG wire, equivalent to 0.34 ~ 0.5mm² cross-sectional area. Wire gauge selection must fall within this specified range for proper crimp termination and electrical performance.
