SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-K-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-K-TR is a 6-position receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series, designed for surface mount applications with bottom entry configuration. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, and is rated for 5.2A per contact at 405VAC/572VDC. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and packaging parameters remain equivalent across the connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connectors is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle vs. plug), contact configuration (number of positions and row arrangement), pitch spacing (mating and row spacing), mounting method (surface mount), contact gender (female socket), current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, contact finish specifications, and insulation material composition.

The substitute part SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-P-TR shares identical specifications across all these parameters with the main part SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-K-TR. Both connectors are 6-position receptacles with 0.100" pitch, surface mount configuration, gold-plated mating contacts, 5.2A per contact current rating, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, and LCP insulation material. The difference between these parts lies in the fastening type designation (K vs. P suffix), which does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-K-TR and SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-P-TR are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and inventory requirements. The SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-P-TR currently has higher inventory availability (1410 pcs vs. 794 pcs), making it a viable alternative when supply constraints exist. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for board-to-board or cable applications requiring 6-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors with gold-plated contacts and push-pull fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-K-TR and SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-P-TR electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical electrical ratings: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Do these connectors have the same mechanical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both are 6-position receptacles with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, 2-row configuration with 0.100" row spacing, 0.290" (7.37mm) insulation height, and identical contact geometry (square phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating).

Q: Can I use SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-P-TR as a direct replacement for SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-K-TR?

A: Yes. The parts are functionally equivalent for all applications. The suffix difference (K vs. P) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series.

Q: What is the difference between the K and P designations?

A: The K and P suffixes represent different fastening type variants within the same connector family. Both provide equivalent performance for standard board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-K-TR and SSM-103-L-DV-BE-LC-P-TR are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What packaging format is used for these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.
