SSM-103-S-DV-M-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-103-S-DV-M-TR is a 6-position rectangular receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series, designed for surface mount applications with pass-through functionality. This connector features 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch mating, gold-plated contacts, and solder termination for board-to-board or cable interconnections. The part maintains active product status with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications for applications requiring component interchangeability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSM-103-S-DV-M-TR are identified within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution criteria are:

• Identical number of positions (6)
• Identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm mating and row spacing)
• Identical connector type (Receptacle, Pass Through)
• Identical contact type (Female Socket)
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Identical termination method (Solder)
• Identical current and voltage ratings (5.2A per Contact, 405VAC / 572VDC)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Identical contact finish specifications (Gold mating surface)
• Identical insulation material and dimensions (LCP, 0.290" height)
• Identical fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Identical packaging format (Tape & Reel)
• Identical compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1)

The substitute parts differ only in internal contact configuration or mechanical retention features, which do not affect electrical performance or physical compatibility in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SSM-103-S-DV-M-TR, SSM-103-S-DV-K-TR, and SSM-103-S-DV-P-TR—maintain active product status and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and internal mechanical design variations that do not affect electrical performance or physical compatibility. The SSM-103-S-DV-K-TR offers the highest inventory level at 1316 pieces, while SSM-103-S-DV-M-TR and SSM-103-S-DV-P-TR each maintain approximately 744-746 pieces in stock. All parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 6-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors with gold-plated contacts and push-pull fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-103-S-DV-K-TR and SSM-103-S-DV-P-TR be used interchangeably with SSM-103-S-DV-M-TR?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC / 572VDC), mechanical dimensions (6 positions, 0.100" pitch, 0.290" insulation height), contact specifications (gold-plated phosphor bronze, square shape), and operating parameters (-55°C to 125°C). They differ only in internal retention mechanisms, which do not affect compatibility in standard board-to-board or cable applications.

Q: What determines substitutability for SSM-103 series connectors?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching: number of positions, mating pitch, row spacing, connector type (receptacle vs. plug), contact type (female vs. male), mounting method (surface mount), termination type (solder), current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, contact finish specifications, insulation material and dimensions, fastening type, and compliance certifications. All three parts meet these criteria identically.

Q: Are there any differences in PCB footprint between these three parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical physical dimensions and mounting specifications for surface mount applications. PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes (M, K, P)?

A: The suffixes indicate internal design variations in contact retention or mechanical features specific to Samtec's Tiger Claw™ SSM series. These variations do not affect electrical performance, current capacity, voltage rating, or physical compatibility.

Q: Are all three parts available in the same packaging format?

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

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.
