Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the ecomate® Aquarius™ circular connector ecosystem. The following parameters must remain constant for direct substitution:

• Contact Type: Socket
• Contact Size: 16
• Wire Gauge Range: 20-22 AWG (0.34 ~ 0.5mm²)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Base Product Number: SS20
• Compliance: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected

The SS20M2T meets all these criteria and represents a direct functional equivalent with updated production status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS20M2T is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent of the SS20M1T. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The transition from SS20M1T (Obsolete) to SS20M2T (Active) is recommended for new designs and ongoing production requirements, as the substitute maintains identical contact specifications and performance characteristics while ensuring long-term component availability. Packaging differs (Tape & Reel versus bulk), which should be considered based on assembly process requirements and volume needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS20M2T directly replace SS20M1T in existing assemblies? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical function, contact geometry, wire gauge compatibility, and termination method. Substitution is appropriate for repair, retrofit, and new production applications.

Q: What is the difference between these parts? A: The primary difference is product status and packaging. SS20M1T is Obsolete with bulk packaging, while SS20M2T is Active with Tape & Reel packaging. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the parts? A: No. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting equivalent environmental standards.

Q: Does packaging affect circuit performance? A: Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection should be based on assembly process compatibility and volume requirements. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same connector assembly? A: Yes. Both socket contacts are Size 16 with identical crimp termination, contact material, finish, and insulation support features, allowing unrestricted interchangeability within the ecomate® Aquarius™ connector system.

Q: Is there a supply risk with either part? A: SS20M1T is Obsolete status, indicating discontinued production. SS20M2T is Active status, representing the current production equivalent and the recommended choice for ongoing availability.
