Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-106-L-DV-A-K-TR is a direct substitute for the SSM-106-L-DV-K-A-TR within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that determine connector compatibility:

• 12-position receptacle configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• 2-row layout with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Surface mount solder termination
• Gold-plated mating contacts with identical thickness specification
• 5.2A per contact current rating
• 405VAC / 572VDC voltage rating
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation
• ROHS3 compliance and Tape & Reel packaging

The substitution is based strictly on matching these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are active products from the same manufacturer with equivalent inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-106-L-DV-K-A-TR and SSM-106-L-DV-A-K-TR are active products with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The SSM-106-L-DV-K-A-TR has 1178 units in stock, while the SSM-106-L-DV-A-K-TR has 1147 units available. Both parts carry identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, EAR99 ECCN classification, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040) and are suitable for applications requiring 12-position, 0.100" pitch rectangular connectors with surface mount termination and gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-106-L-DV-A-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for SSM-106-L-DV-K-A-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications, including position count, pitch spacing, current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, contact finish, and mounting type. They are interchangeable for board-to-board and cable applications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution compatibility for this connector?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: 12-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, surface mount termination, female socket contact type, 5.2A per contact current rating, 405VAC / 572VDC voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both SSM-106-L-DV-K-A-TR and SSM-106-L-DV-A-K-TR are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited shelf life). They share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

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

A: The part numbers differ only in the letter sequence within the model designation (K-A versus A-K). All functional, electrical, and mechanical specifications are identical. The difference reflects internal Samtec product coding but does not affect connector performance or compatibility.
