Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-108-L-DH-TR is classified as a direct substitute for the SSM-108-LM-DH-TR based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are 16-position receptacle connectors with female socket contacts
• Pitch & Spacing: Identical 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Orientation: Both feature surface mount, right-angle configuration
• Electrical Ratings: Matching 5.2A per contact current rating and 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating
• Contact Material & Finish: Both use phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish (10.0µin/0.25µm thickness)
• Insulation & Temperature: Identical LCP insulation material and -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

The substitution is based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The difference between SSM-108-LM-DH-TR and SSM-108-L-DH-TR lies in internal design variations within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series that do not affect mating compatibility or performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-108-LM-DH-TR and SSM-108-L-DH-TR are Active status products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

No additional testing or qualification is required when substituting between these parts, as all critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-108-L-DH-TR be used as a direct replacement for SSM-108-LM-DH-TR?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including pitch, contact configuration, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. They are interchangeable in applications requiring 16-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability for this connector?

A: Substitutability is determined by: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (16), mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), mounting type (surface mount, right angle), contact type (female socket), contact finish (gold), current rating (5.2A per contact), voltage rating (405VAC/572VDC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and insulation material (LCP).

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or handling between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, requiring no special storage or handling precautions.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both SSM-108-LM-DH-TR and SSM-108-L-DH-TR are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring lead-free, environmentally compliant components.

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

A: Both connectors are rated for 5.2A per contact with a maximum voltage rating of 405VAC or 572VDC, suitable for standard industrial and commercial interconnection applications.
