Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the SSM-103 base product family is determined by the following critical parameters that remain constant across all equivalent parts:

• Number of Positions: 3
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Pass Through
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Current Rating: 5.2A per Contact
• Voltage Rating: 405VAC, 572VDC
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (10.0µin / 0.25µm)
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Base Product Number: SSM-103
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR)

The substitute parts SSM-103-L-SV-K-TR and SSM-103-L-SV-P-TR maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in part numbering reflect differences in fastening mechanism design or internal contact configuration within the same functional class, not changes to mating interface, electrical performance, or thermal ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SSM-103-L-SV-TR, SSM-103-L-SV-K-TR, and SSM-103-L-SV-P-TR—are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements rather than functional differences.

SSM-103-L-SV-K-TR and SSM-103-L-SV-P-TR both include Pick and Place features, which may provide advantages in automated assembly environments. SSM-103-L-SV-K-TR maintains the highest inventory level at 3014 pieces, followed by SSM-103-L-SV-P-TR at 1912 pieces, while SSM-103-L-SV-TR has 745 pieces available.

All parts carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99) and HTSUS coding (8536.69.4040), ensuring consistent regulatory and trade compliance across substitutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-103-L-SV-TR, SSM-103-L-SV-K-TR, and SSM-103-L-SV-P-TR electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications including 5.2A per contact current rating, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Mating interface, contact geometry, and pitch are identical at 0.100" (2.54mm).

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?
