SSM-102-L-SV-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-102-L-SV-TR is a 2-position rectangular receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series, designed for surface mount applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This pass-through connector features gold-plated mating contacts rated for 5.2A per contact and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable board-to-board or cable interconnection.

Alternative models become necessary when specific application requirements demand different termination methods, enhanced pick-and-place capabilities, or when primary part availability is constrained.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-102-L-SV-K-TR qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical connector type, position count, and pitch spacing (0.100")
• Matching electrical ratings: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC voltage
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Same contact material, finish, and insulation specifications
• Equivalent RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating
• Same series designation (Tiger Claw™ SSM)
• Identical mounting method (surface mount) and termination (solder)

The primary distinction is the inclusion of pick-and-place features in the substitute part, which represents an enhancement rather than a functional deviation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-102-L-SV-TR and SSM-102-L-SV-K-TR are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Selection between these parts should be based on manufacturing process requirements. The SSM-102-L-SV-K-TR includes pick-and-place features, which may provide advantages in automated assembly environments. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal ratings, and contact specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-102-L-SV-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for SSM-102-L-SV-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), connector configuration (2-position, 0.100" pitch), and contact specifications. The substitute part includes pick-and-place features, which do not affect functional compatibility.

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

A: The primary difference is the inclusion of pick-and-place features in the SSM-102-L-SV-K-TR variant. All other specifications, including electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, contact materials, and compliance certifications, are identical.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both SSM-102-L-SV-TR and SSM-102-L-SV-K-TR are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do these connectors have any moisture sensitivity concerns?

A: No. Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions and unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching connector type, position count, pitch spacing, electrical ratings (current and voltage), operating temperature range, contact material and finish, insulation material, and mounting method. Both parts meet all these criteria.
