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

Part Overview

The SSM-104-L-SV-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 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The part is active in production status with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified within the SSM-104 base product family to address specific packaging requirements, assembly process needs, or inventory constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the SSM-104 base product family is determined by the following invariant parameters: connector type (receptacle, pass-through), contact type (female socket), number of positions (4), pitch (0.100"), mounting type (surface mount), termination (solder), current rating (5.2A per contact), voltage rating (405VAC / 572VDC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), contact finish (gold), insulation material (LCP), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Substitute parts differ only in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) and assembly features (Pick and Place capability, Board Lock functionality). These variations do not affect electrical performance, mating compatibility, or thermal characteristics. Selection among substitutes is based on procurement packaging requirements and manufacturing assembly process compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications, thermal performance, and compliance certifications. Selection criteria are based on packaging and assembly process requirements:

SSM-104-L-SV-K-TR and SSM-104-L-SV-P-TR are supplied in Tape & Reel format with Pick and Place features, suitable for automated assembly processes requiring component orientation and placement optimization.

SSM-104-L-SV-LC-K-TR is supplied in Cut Tape format with both Board Lock and Pick and Place features. The Board Lock mechanism provides mechanical retention during assembly. This variant offers the highest inventory availability (92,900 pcs).

All parts are active production status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all SSM-104 variants electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. All variants share identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC / 572VDC), thermal range (-55°C ~ 125°C), contact finish (gold), and insulation material (LCP). Mating compatibility is guaranteed across all four-position configurations with 0.100" pitch spacing.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging? A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on cut segments of carrier tape, suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly processes.

Q: What does the Board Lock feature provide? A: The Board Lock feature (present in SSM-104-L-SV-LC-K-TR) provides mechanical retention of the connector to the PCB during assembly and handling, reducing the risk of component displacement before solder reflow.

Q: Can I substitute SSM-104-L-SV-TR with SSM-104-L-SV-LC-K-TR? A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. The primary differences are packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) and the addition of Board Lock and Pick and Place features in the LC-K variant. Inventory availability is significantly higher for the LC-K variant (92,900 pcs vs. 1,184 pcs).

Q: Are all variants ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All four variants are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, confirming compliance with environmental regulations and unrestricted moisture sensitivity handling.
