Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-108-SM-DV-M-TR and SSM-108-S-DV-P-TR are Active status products from Samtec Inc. and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 standards. The substitute part SSM-108-S-DV-P-TR provides equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility for applications requiring 16-position surface mount receptacle connectors with 0.100" pitch.

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements, as all critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. Both parts are suitable for applications operating within the -55°C to 125°C temperature range and requiring 5.2A per contact current capacity at 405VAC or 572VDC voltage levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-108-S-DV-P-TR be used as a direct replacement for SSM-108-SM-DV-M-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are 16-position receptacle connectors from the Tiger Claw™ SSM series with identical mating pitch (0.100"), row configuration, current rating (5.2A per contact), voltage rating (405VAC / 572VDC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). All electrical and mechanical parameters match, enabling direct substitution.

Q: Are there differences in the part numbers that affect compatibility?

A: The part numbers reflect internal Samtec designations within the SSM series. The differences in the part number codes do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for the specified 16-position configuration. Both parts maintain identical contact geometry, pitch, and termination characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the Tape & Reel packaging for both parts?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging indicates both parts are supplied in continuous tape format suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. This packaging format is standard for surface mount connectors and does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

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

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling prior to soldering.
