Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS-73100-071 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Jack connector, 8P8C (RJ45/Ethernet) format
• Electrical Specifications: Shielded construction, Cat5e rating
• Mechanical Interface: 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole mounting, solder termination
• Physical Properties: Copper alloy contacts with gold finish, thermoplastic housing
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range -40°C ~ 85°C, MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Compliance: REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification

The substitute part SS-73100-009 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering the advantage of active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS-73100-009 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete SS-73100-071. Both parts are manufactured by Stewart Connector within the same 73100 series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The primary distinction is product status: SS-73100-009 is currently active with documented ROHS3 compliance, whereas SS-73100-071 is obsolete.

For applications requiring the SS-73100-071 specification, SS-73100-009 provides full functional and mechanical compatibility. The substitute part is available in tray packaging and maintains equivalent contact material, finish thickness, shielding characteristics, and temperature ratings. Selection of the active substitute part ensures long-term supply chain viability and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS-73100-009 be used as a direct replacement for SS-73100-071?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, pin configuration, orientation, mounting method, termination style, shielding, and electrical ratings. The substitute part maintains the same 8P8C RJ45 jack format with 90° right-angle solder termination and Cat5e shielded specifications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. SS-73100-071 is obsolete, while SS-73100-009 is active. SS-73100-009 is supplied in tray packaging and includes documented ROHS3 compliance certification. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting SS-73100-009 for SS-73100-071?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical contact material (copper alloy with gold finish), housing material (thermoplastic), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Board-level integration and PCB footprint requirements are identical.

Q: Does SS-73100-009 meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 classification. SS-73100-009 additionally provides ROHS3 compliance documentation, which may be required for certain applications or regulatory jurisdictions.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: SS-73100-009 is supplied in tray packaging, whereas SS-73100-071 packaging is not specified in available documentation. Tray packaging is standard for modular connector distribution and does not affect component performance or compatibility.
