SSM-108-LM-SV-LC-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-108-LM-SV-LC-P is an 8-position receptacle pass-through connector manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. This surface mount connector features gold-plated mating contacts, a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, and is rated for 5.2A per contact at 405VAC/572VDC. The connector is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-108-L-SV-LC-P is identified as a substitute for the SSM-108-LM-SV-LC-P based on strict parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Key Parameters for Substitution Equivalence:

• 8-position receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Surface mount termination
• Gold contact finish (mating)
• 5.2A per contact current rating
• 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material
• Push-Pull fastening type
• Board Lock and Pick and Place features

The difference between SSM-108-LM-SV-LC-P and SSM-108-L-SV-LC-P is limited to the connector latch mechanism designation (LM versus L), which does not affect electrical performance or core mechanical compatibility within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series design envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-108-LM-SV-LC-P and SSM-108-L-SV-LC-P are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 certification. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and procurement lead time, as they are functionally equivalent within the Tiger Claw™ SSM connector series. Both parts meet the same electrical performance requirements, environmental specifications, and regulatory certifications. The choice between LM and L variants does not introduce any compliance or performance risk when substituting one for the other in applications requiring 8-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors rated for 5.2A per contact operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-108-LM-SV-LC-P and SSM-108-L-SV-LC-P electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for identical electrical parameters: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The mating contact finish, material composition, and current-carrying capacity are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the LM and L designations in the part numbers?

A: The LM and L designations refer to latch mechanism variants within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. This difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or physical dimensions relevant to PCB layout and mating interface design.

Q: Can I substitute SSM-108-L-SV-LC-P for SSM-108-LM-SV-LC-P in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (8), mounting type (surface mount), and contact specifications. No design changes are required for substitution.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSM-108-LM-SV-LC-P and SSM-108-L-SV-LC-P are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, which is the standard spacing between contact positions in the 8-position receptacle configuration.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C, supporting applications across industrial and commercial temperature ranges.
