SSM-106-L-DV-M-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-106-L-DV-M-TR is a 12-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 and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications while accommodating different packaging formats for supply chain flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSM-106-L-DV-M-TR are qualified based on identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution criteria include:

• Identical connector type, contact configuration, and position count (12-position receptacle)
• Matching pitch and row spacing (0.100" mating pitch, 0.100" row spacing)
• Identical contact material, finish, and current/voltage ratings
• Same operating temperature range and environmental compliance
• Identical insulation material and physical dimensions
• Same series designation (Tiger Claw™ SSM)

The only permitted variation is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All substitute parts maintain identical base product number (SSM-106) and comply with the same regulatory standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SSM-106-L-DV-M-TR, SSM-106-L-DV-K-TR, and SSM-106-L-DV-P-TR—are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging and supply requirements:

• SSM-106-L-DV-M-TR and SSM-106-L-DV-P-TR are supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.
• SSM-106-L-DV-K-TR is supplied in Cut Tape format, appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 export classification, and identical regulatory certifications. Inventory availability varies by part number and packaging format. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and supply chain availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-106-L-DV-K-TR (Cut Tape) be used as a direct substitute for SSM-106-L-DV-M-TR (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. Cut Tape packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs, while Tape & Reel is optimized for automated assembly equipment.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the three substitute parts?

A: No. All three parts share identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC), mechanical dimensions, contact materials, and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). Packaging format does not affect performance.

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute for SSM-106-L-DV-M-TR?

A: Substitution is based on matching specifications across connector type, position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, contact finish, current/voltage ratings, operating temperature, insulation material, and compliance certifications. All three parts meet these criteria.

Q: Can I mix packaging formats in the same assembly process?

A: Packaging format selection should align with your assembly process capabilities. Tape & Reel parts are designed for automated pick-and-place systems, while Cut Tape parts are suitable for manual handling or semi-automated processes. Mixing formats may require process adjustments.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SSM-106-L-DV-M-TR, SSM-106-L-DV-K-TR, and SSM-106-L-DV-P-TR are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference between the base product number SSM-106 and the full part numbers?

A: The base product number SSM-106 identifies the core connector design. The full part numbers include additional designations for specific configurations, such as contact finish (L = Gold), connector style (DV = Pass Through), packaging format (M = Tape & Reel, K = Cut Tape, P = Tape & Reel), and termination method (TR = Tape & Reel).
