SSM-102-SM-DV-BE-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-102-SM-DV-BE-TR is a 4-position rectangular receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series. This surface mount, bottom entry connector features 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch mating and gold-plated contacts rated for 5.2A per contact at 405VAC/572VDC. The connector is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the same connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-102-S-DV-BE-K-TR qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Identical connector type: Receptacle, Bottom Entry
• Identical number of positions: 4
• Identical pitch and row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount
• Identical contact finish: Gold plating
• Identical electrical ratings: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Identical series: Tiger Claw™ SSM
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Identical packaging: Tape & Reel (TR)

The substitute part differs only in fastening mechanism designation (K vs. SM) and includes Pick and Place feature notation, representing a variant within the same base product family (SSM-102).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-102-SM-DV-BE-TR and SSM-102-S-DV-BE-K-TR are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: SSM-102-S-DV-BE-K-TR currently has higher inventory (1324 pcs vs. 930 pcs)
• Assembly process requirements: SSM-102-S-DV-BE-K-TR includes Pick and Place feature notation
• Fastening mechanism designation differences reflected in part number coding

Both parts meet the same performance requirements for 4-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount applications with 5.2A per contact capacity and -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-102-S-DV-BE-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for SSM-102-SM-DV-BE-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC), mechanical dimensions (4-position, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration), contact materials (phosphor bronze with 30.0µin gold plating), mounting type (surface mount), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant and packaged in Tape & Reel format.

Q: What is the difference between the SM and S/K designations in the part numbers?

A: The part number variations reflect different fastening mechanism or connector variant designations within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. The electrical and mechanical compatibility remains unchanged.

Q: Are there any compatibility considerations for PCB layout or assembly?

A: Both connectors are bottom entry, surface mount receptacles with identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and insulation height (0.290"). PCB footprints and assembly processes are compatible. The SSM-102-S-DV-BE-K-TR includes Pick and Place feature notation, which may provide assembly process advantages.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and current applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5.2A per contact and 405VAC/572VDC, making them suitable for identical power distribution and signal applications.
