Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between SSM-108-S-SV-LC and SSM-108-S-SV is determined by equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 8
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector type: Receptacle, Pass Through
• Contact type: Female Socket
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Current rating: 5.2A per Contact
• Voltage rating: 405VAC, 572VDC
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Contact finish: Gold mating surface
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Base product number: SSM-108
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: SSM-108-S-SV-LC is supplied in tube packaging, while SSM-108-S-SV is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-108-S-SV-LC and SSM-108-S-SV are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts depends on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics rather than electrical or mechanical performance.

SSM-108-S-SV-LC in tube packaging is suitable for applications requiring controlled component handling and traceability per unit. SSM-108-S-SV in bulk packaging is appropriate for high-volume manufacturing environments with established component management systems.

Both parts maintain equivalent performance across all specified electrical parameters, thermal operating range, and mechanical interface requirements. The choice between tube and bulk packaging does not affect functional compatibility in the application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-108-S-SV-LC and SSM-108-S-SV electrically identical?
