Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-108-L-SV-BE-K is identified as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all critical substitution parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Current rating (5.2A per contact), voltage rating (405VAC, 572VDC), and contact material (phosphor bronze with gold mating finish) are identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Number of positions (8), pitch spacing (0.100"), connector type (receptacle, bottom entry), mounting type (surface mount), and fastening type (push-pull) are identical.

Material & Environmental Parameters: Insulation material (LCP), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), contact finish specifications, and MSL rating (1) are identical.

Compliance Parameters: Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

The only distinguishing characteristic is the contact finish post material designation (suffix -P versus -K), which does not affect functional interchangeability in the specified application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-108-L-SV-BE-P and SSM-108-L-SV-BE-K are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The SSM-108-L-SV-BE-K currently maintains higher stock levels (996 units versus 915 units), which may provide supply chain advantages for high-volume applications. Both parts meet identical compliance requirements (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4040) and carry unrestricted moisture sensitivity ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-108-L-SV-BE-P and SSM-108-L-SV-BE-K fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters (current rating, voltage rating, contact material), mechanical parameters (position count, pitch, connector type, mounting configuration), and environmental specifications (operating temperature, insulation material) are identical between these parts.

Q: What is the difference between the -P and -K suffix designations?

A: The suffix designations reflect contact finish post material specifications. This distinction does not affect functional interchangeability or performance in the specified application context.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSM-108-L-SV-BE-P and SSM-108-L-SV-BE-K carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What is the current handling capacity per contact?

A: Both connectors are rated for 5.2A per contact at the specified voltage ratings (405VAC, 572VDC).

Q: Are these surface mount connectors suitable for automated assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts feature pick-and-place compatibility for automated surface mount assembly processes.
