Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-108-S-DV-BE-P-TR is identified as a direct substitute for the SSM-108-S-DV-BE-TR based on the following criteria:

Identical Electrical Parameters:

• 16-position receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing
• 5.2A per contact current rating
• 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating
• Gold contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C

Identical Mechanical Parameters:

• Surface mount termination
• Bottom entry connector type
• Push-pull fastening
• 0.290" (7.37mm) insulation height
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material
• Square contact shape
• Phosphor bronze contact material

Packaging Difference: The substitute part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging instead of Tape & Reel (TR), with 980 units in stock compared to 831 units of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-108-S-DV-BE-TR and SSM-108-S-DV-BE-P-TR are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and assembly process compatibility.

The SSM-108-S-DV-BE-TR in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The SSM-108-S-DV-BE-P-TR in Cut Tape format accommodates manual assembly processes or lower-volume production runs where reel-based feeding is not required.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions. The substitute part offers higher current inventory availability at 980 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical ratings: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

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 pick-and-place equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Can I use the Cut Tape version in an automated assembly line? A: Cut Tape packaging is not designed for automated reel-fed pick-and-place systems. Use the Tape & Reel version for high-volume automated assembly.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical? A: Yes. Both parts have identical mounting footprints, insulation height of 0.290" (7.37mm), and surface mount termination specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector? A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: number of positions, mating pitch, row configuration, contact finish type and thickness, current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, mounting type, and termination method.
