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

Part Overview

The SSM-108-L-DV-BE-P-TR is a 16-position receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series, designed for surface mount board-to-board or cable applications. This bottom entry connector features gold-plated mating contacts, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration, and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary when the tape and reel (TR) packaging format is unavailable or when alternative packaging configurations better suit procurement requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSM-108-L-DV-BE-P-TR based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSM-108), connector configuration, contact specifications, and performance ratings. The substitution is valid across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, position count, and pitch configuration
• Mating contact finish (gold) and thickness (10.0µin / 0.25µm)
• Current and voltage ratings
• Operating temperature range
• Surface mount termination and push-pull fastening
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: SSM-108-L-DV-BE-P-TR is supplied in tape and reel (TR), while SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR is supplied in cut tape (CT). Both packaging formats are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-108-L-DV-BE-P-TR and SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement availability:

• SSM-108-L-DV-BE-P-TR (tape and reel) is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations with continuous feeder compatibility.
• SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR (cut tape) is suitable for moderate-volume production runs or when feeder equipment is not available.

Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, eliminating bake-out requirements. The ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification are identical across both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-108-L-DV-BE-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for SSM-108-L-DV-BE-P-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (cut tape versus tape and reel). Functional performance, contact specifications, and environmental ratings are identical.

Q: What is the difference between tape and reel (TR) and cut tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape and reel packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment with feeder systems. Cut tape packaging supplies components on individual tape segments, typically used for lower-volume production or when feeder compatibility is not required. Both formats are suitable for surface mount assembly.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.

Q: What is the current rating per contact?

A: Both parts are rated for 5.2A per contact with a voltage rating of 405VAC or 572VDC maximum.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C.
