SSM-110-S-DV-A-M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-110-S-DV-A-M is a 20-position rectangular receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series. This surface mount, pass-through connector features female sockets with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, gold-plated mating contacts, and a current rating of 5.2A per contact. The connector is designed for board-to-board or cable applications with push-pull fastening and includes board guide and pick-and-place features. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and maintain compatibility across manufacturing batches while meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SSM-110-S-DV-A-M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Architecture: Receptacle, pass-through configuration with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Spacing: 20 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Electrical Performance: 5.2A per contact current rating and 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating
• Surface Mount Solder Termination: SMD package with solder termination and push-pull fastening
• Contact Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating surface (30.0µin thickness) and tin post finish
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Mechanical Features: Board guide and pick-and-place compatibility

The substitute part SSM-110-S-DV-A-P maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters, differing only in packaging configuration (tube packaging for both) and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-110-S-DV-A-M and SSM-110-S-DV-A-P are Active products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: SSM-110-S-DV-A-P currently maintains higher stock (1327 pcs) compared to SSM-110-S-DV-A-M (695 pcs)
• Supply Chain Continuity: Either part provides equivalent functionality for board-to-board or cable applications requiring 20-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount receptacles
• Compliance Requirements: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and EAR99 export classification requirements

No additional testing or qualification is required when substituting between these parts, as all critical parameters remain identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-110-S-DV-A-M and SSM-110-S-DV-A-P mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical 20-position, 2-row configurations with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing. The physical footprint, mounting pattern, and solder termination are equivalent, allowing direct PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Do these connectors support the same electrical specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5.2A per contact and 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating. Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and contact material specifications are identical.

Q: What is the difference between SSM-110-S-DV-A-M and SSM-110-S-DV-A-P?

A: The parts are functionally and electrically equivalent. Both are packaged in tubes and maintain identical specifications across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. Differences are limited to inventory levels and potential manufacturing batch variations.

Q: Can I use these connectors in high-frequency applications?

A: The provided specifications do not include high-frequency performance data. Connector selection for high-frequency applications requires additional impedance and signal integrity parameters not included in this reference.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for automated assembly?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature pick-and-place compatibility and board guide features, supporting automated surface mount assembly processes.

Q: What is the MSL rating, and why does it matter?

A: Both connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts can be stored indefinitely without desiccant packaging or baking requirements prior to soldering.
