SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR is an 8-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, and supports 5.2A per contact at ratings up to 405VAC and 572VDC. The part is active in production with 679 units currently in stock and carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support design flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity for applications requiring 8-position rectangular connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 8-position receptacle, bottom entry, 2-row arrangement
• Pitch and Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Electrical Performance: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating
• Contact System: Female socket, gold-plated mating surface (10.0µin thickness), phosphor bronze material
• Mounting and Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rating, operating range -55°C to 125°C
• Material Specification: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, black color

The substitute part SSM-104-L-DV-BE-A-P-TR maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while incorporating additional features (board guide and pick-and-place optimization) that do not alter the core connector functionality or compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR and SSM-104-L-DV-BE-A-P-TR are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR: Use when standard receptacle configuration meets design requirements and inventory availability is sufficient.

SSM-104-L-DV-BE-A-P-TR: Use when board guide features and pick-and-place optimization provide manufacturing process advantages. This variant offers higher current inventory availability (1138 units versus 679 units).

Both parts maintain equivalent electrical performance, thermal operating range, and compliance certifications. The substitution is direct for applications requiring 8-position, 0.100" pitch, bottom-entry receptacle connectors with 5.2A per contact capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR and SSM-104-L-DV-BE-A-P-TR electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 5.2A per contact current rating, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, gold-plated contact finish (10.0µin thickness), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

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

A: The SSM-104-L-DV-BE-A-P-TR includes board guide and pick-and-place features not present in the SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR. These features do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; they optimize manufacturing handling and assembly processes.

Q: Can I use SSM-104-L-DV-BE-A-P-TR as a direct replacement for SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR?

A: Yes. The parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. The additional features in the A-P variant do not create incompatibility with existing designs or mating connectors.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain constant: 8-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row arrangement, bottom-entry receptacle type, female socket contact type, surface mount termination, gold mating contact finish, and 5.2A per contact current rating.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSM-104-L-DV-BE-TR and SSM-104-L-DV-BE-A-P-TR carry ROHS3 compliance certification with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the tape and reel packaging specification?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes.
