Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSM-104-S-SH-003 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. The substitution criteria are:

• Identical connector type (Receptacle)
• Identical number of positions (4)
• Identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Identical contact type and finish (Female Socket, Gold-plated mating surface)
• Identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC / 572VDC)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Identical insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1)

The substitute parts SSM-104-S-SH-002 and SSM-104-S-SH-004 meet all these criteria and are direct functional equivalents suitable for component replacement in identical circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SSM-104-S-SH-003, SSM-104-S-SH-002, and SSM-104-S-SH-004—are functionally equivalent and interchangeable for applications requiring 4-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors with surface mount right-angle configuration. Selection among these parts may be based on:

• Inventory availability (910 Pcs for SSM-104-S-SH-003; 707 Pcs for SSM-104-S-SH-002; 818 Pcs for SSM-104-S-SH-004)
• Supply chain lead times
• Cost considerations
• Procurement preferences

All parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal ratings, and compliance certifications. No performance degradation or functional limitation occurs when substituting between these part numbers within the same application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-104-S-SH-002 and SSM-104-S-SH-004 direct replacements for SSM-104-S-SH-003?

A: Yes. All three parts are functionally equivalent receptacle connectors with identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, contact configurations, and compliance certifications. They are interchangeable for board-to-board and cable applications requiring 4-position, 0.100" pitch connectivity.

Q: What determines substitutability between these connector models?

A: Substitutability is based on matching connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, contact type and finish, electrical ratings, operating temperature range, insulation material, and compliance certifications. All three parts meet these criteria.

Q: Do these connectors have different mechanical footprints?

A: No. All three parts share identical mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle), insulation height (0.125" / 3.18mm), and contact configuration, ensuring identical PCB footprints and assembly compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL Level 1 rating, suitable for unrestricted moisture exposure and storage conditions.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain the same operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and are suitable for identical thermal environments.
