Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connectors in the SSM series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Receptacle, bottom entry orientation
• Contact Count & Arrangement: 12 positions in 2-row configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Electrical Performance: 5.2A per contact current rating and 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating
• Surface Mount Compatibility: Solder termination with surface mount mounting type
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated mating contacts with phosphor bronze base material
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part SSM-106-L-DV-BE-P-TR maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while incorporating Pick and Place feature designation, indicating manufacturing process optimization without altering connector performance or interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-106-L-DV-BE-TR and SSM-106-L-DV-BE-P-TR are Active status products with identical ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts is based on manufacturing process requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences. The SSM-106-L-DV-BE-P-TR designation indicates Pick and Place feature compatibility, which may be relevant for automated assembly environments. Both parts maintain equivalent electrical ratings, contact specifications, and environmental compliance certifications. Inventory availability and procurement lead times may also influence part selection within this equivalent group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-106-L-DV-BE-TR and SSM-106-L-DV-BE-P-TR electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 5.2A per contact current rating, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, and gold-plated contact finish. They are direct substitutes for electrical performance.

Q: What does the "P" designation in SSM-106-L-DV-BE-P-TR indicate?

A: The "P" in the part number designates Pick and Place feature compatibility, indicating the connector is optimized for automated assembly processes. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical mounting type (surface mount), pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and insulation height (0.290"). PCB footprints and design layouts are compatible.

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

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the significance of the 12-position, 2-row configuration?

A: This configuration specifies the connector accepts 12 total contacts arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" spacing between rows. Any substitute must maintain this exact arrangement for mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: How does the 0.100" pitch affect substitution?

A: The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is a critical parameter that determines PCB footprint, mating connector compatibility, and contact spacing. Substitutes must maintain this exact pitch specification.

Q: What operating conditions are these connectors rated for?

A: Both connectors operate across -55°C to 125°C temperature range with 5.2A per contact current capacity and 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating. These specifications apply to both SSM-106-L-DV-BE-TR and SSM-106-L-DV-BE-P-TR.
