Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-108-S-DV-P-TR is identified as a substitute for the SSM-108-S-DV-M-TR based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are 16-position receptacle, pass-through connectors with female socket contacts
• Pitch & Spacing: Identical 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Electrical Ratings: Both support 5.2A per contact and 405VAC/572VDC voltage ratings
• Mounting & Termination: Both are surface mount with solder termination
• Material & Finish: Both feature gold-plated mating contacts with LCP insulation
• Operating Temperature: Both rated -55°C ~ 125°C
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant

The substitution is valid within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series where these parameters remain constant across part variants.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-108-S-DV-M-TR and SSM-108-S-DV-P-TR are Active status products from Samtec Inc. and are ROHS3 compliant. All critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical, making either part suitable for direct substitution in circuit designs and PCB assemblies. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability or supply chain considerations, as both meet identical functional and compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-108-S-DV-P-TR replace SSM-108-S-DV-M-TR in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC), mechanical dimensions (16 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration), mounting type (surface mount), and termination method (solder). They are functionally equivalent within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish or plating between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and tin-plated posts. Contact material, shape, and finish specifications are identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both are rated for -55°C to 125°C operation, with identical insulation material (LCP) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers if they are equivalent?

A: The part numbers differ in the fifth position character (M versus P), which represents a variant designation within the SSM-108 base product family. This designation does not affect the electrical or mechanical specifications relevant to substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSM-108-S-DV-M-TR and SSM-108-S-DV-P-TR are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.
