Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS20W1G5 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the Amphenol Sine Systems Corp product family. The primary substitute, SS20W2G5, maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters that determine interchangeability:

Key Parameters for Substitution Compatibility:

• Contact size (20)
• 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)
• Insulation support feature
• Base product number (SS20)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The SS20W2G5 represents an active product status alternative, whereas the SS20W1G5 is obsolete. Both components share the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications, enabling direct functional substitution in applications requiring Size 20 socket contacts for 20-22 AWG wire with crimp termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS20W2G5 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete SS20W1G5. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The SS20W2G5 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component applications. The primary distinction between the two parts is series designation (ecomate® RM versus ecomate® Aquarius™) and packaging format (bulk versus Tape & Reel).

For applications requiring the SS20W1G5, the SS20W2G5 provides functional equivalence without modification to connector assembly, termination procedures, or electrical performance characteristics. The Tape & Reel packaging of the SS20W2G5 offers advantages for automated assembly processes compared to bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS20W2G5 be used as a direct replacement for SS20W1G5?

A: Yes. Both components share identical contact size (20), wire gauge range (20-22 AWG), termination method (crimp), material composition (copper alloy), and finish specifications (gold at 5.00µin). They are functionally equivalent for all electrical and mechanical applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The SS20W1G5 is classified as obsolete. The SS20W2G5 is an active product offering equivalent specifications with assured supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The SS20W1G5 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the SS20W2G5 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly equipment and provides improved handling for high-volume production environments.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the SS20W1G5 and SS20W2G5 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the ecomate® RM and ecomate® Aquarius™ series?

A: The series designation indicates different product families within the Amphenol Sine Systems Corp connector portfolio. For the SS20 base product number, both series maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for Size 20 socket contacts.

Q: Are the crimp termination specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use crimp termination for 20-22 AWG wire (0.34 ~ 0.5mm²) with identical contact finish thickness and material composition.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these components?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
