SSM-108-L-DV-BE-M-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-108-L-DV-BE-M-TR is a 16-position receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series, designed for surface mount applications with bottom entry configuration. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, and is rated for 5.2A per contact at 405VAC/572VDC. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SSM-108-L-DV-BE-M-TR is determined by equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

• Number of positions and row configuration (16 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Connector type and contact configuration (Receptacle, Bottom Entry, Female Socket)
• Electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact finish and material (Gold mating surface, Phosphor Bronze contact material)
• Insulation specifications (LCP, Black, 0.290" height)
• Mounting and termination method (Surface Mount, Solder)
• Compliance status (ROHS3, MSL 1)

The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: the main part uses Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the substitute uses Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both are sourced from the same manufacturer and base product series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-108-L-DV-BE-M-TR and SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR are Active status products from Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements and packaging format compatibility with assembly processes.

The Tape & Reel (TR) format of the main part is suitable for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The Cut Tape (CT) format of the substitute part accommodates lower-volume applications or manual assembly workflows. Both formats contain identical connector components with no functional or electrical differences.

Current inventory availability shows 948 units of the TR variant and 1313 units of the CT variant, providing flexibility in sourcing decisions based on immediate project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-108-L-DV-BE-M-TR and SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR electrically and mechanically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all electrical parameters (current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature) and mechanical specifications (pitch, row spacing, connector type, contact configuration, insulation material and dimensions). The only difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on tape segments, typically used for lower-volume production or manual assembly processes. The connector components themselves are identical.

Q: Can I use SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR as a direct replacement for SSM-108-L-DV-BE-M-TR?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate Cut Tape packaging. If your production line requires Tape & Reel format for automated handling, the CT variant would require process modification or manual feeding.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and carry Active product status from Samtec Inc.

Q: What is the current rating per contact for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 5.2A per contact at the specified voltage ratings of 405VAC or 572VDC.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
