SSM-104-L-SV-LC-P-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-104-L-SV-LC-P-TR is a 4-position rectangular receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series. This surface mount, pass-through connector features gold-plated female sockets with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The part is Active in product status and widely used in applications requiring reliable interconnection with push-pull fastening and board lock features. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary when the primary packaging format (Tape & Reel) is unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required to maintain supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-104-L-SV-LC-K-TR qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSM-104-L-SV-LC-P-TR based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both are 4-position receptacles with identical pass-through functionality
• Pitch & Mating Interface: Both maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating plugs
• Contact Configuration: Both feature female sockets with gold-plated mating surfaces and identical current/voltage ratings
• Mounting & Termination: Both are surface mount with solder termination
• Electrical Performance: Identical current rating (5.2A per contact) and voltage rating (405VAC, 572VDC)
• Operating Environment: Identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with identical base product number (SSM-104)

The primary difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). This distinction affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-104-L-SV-LC-P-TR and SSM-104-L-SV-LC-K-TR are Active products from Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

SSM-104-L-SV-LC-P-TR (Tape & Reel) is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where tape-fed pick-and-place equipment is utilized. This packaging format optimizes component handling and placement efficiency in production environments.

SSM-104-L-SV-LC-K-TR (Cut Tape) is suitable for lower-volume production runs, prototyping, or manual assembly processes where individual component handling is required. Cut tape packaging provides flexibility for smaller batch quantities.

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental ratings. The choice between them is determined by manufacturing process requirements and supply chain availability rather than technical performance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-104-L-SV-LC-P-TR and SSM-104-L-SV-LC-K-TR mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical mechanical dimensions, pitch (0.100"), position count (4), and mounting interface. They are fully interchangeable in the circuit design and PCB layout.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. The components themselves are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSM-104-L-SV-LC-P-TR and SSM-104-L-SV-LC-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Can I use the Cut Tape version in high-volume production?

A: While technically possible, Cut Tape packaging is not optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Tape & Reel packaging is the standard format for production environments using automated pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical current rating (5.2A per contact), voltage rating (405VAC, 572VDC), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
