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

Part Overview

The SSM-110-S-DV-M is a 20-position rectangular receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc. from the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. This surface mount, pass-through connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and gold-plated mating contacts rated for 5.2A per contact at 405VAC/572VDC. The part is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, making it suitable for board-to-board and cable applications requiring reliable high-density interconnection. Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, design revisions, or supply chain considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Connector Configuration: 20 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount solder termination
• Contact System: Gold-plated mating surface, female socket contact type
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating required
• Mechanical Compatibility: Insulation height and contact geometry must accommodate existing PCB layouts

The NPPC102KFMS-RC from Sullins Connector Solutions shares the core mechanical footprint (20 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch) and surface mount construction. However, differences in connector type (header vs. receptacle), current rating (3A vs. 5.2A), voltage rating (250V vs. 405VAC/572VDC), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C vs. -55°C to 125°C) must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-110-S-DV-M and NPPC102KFMS-RC are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, meeting modern environmental and reliability standards. Selection between these parts must be based on application-specific electrical and thermal requirements.

The SSM-110-S-DV-M is suitable for applications requiring the full specified current rating of 5.2A per contact and voltage rating of 405VAC/572VDC, with extended low-temperature operation to -55°C. The receptacle configuration and pass-through design provide specific mating interface characteristics.

The NPPC102KFMS-RC is suitable for applications where the 3A per contact current rating and 250V voltage rating are sufficient, and where the header connector type and -40°C minimum operating temperature are acceptable. The polyamide insulation material and slightly increased insulation height (0.299" vs. 0.290") must be verified for PCB layout compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can NPPC102KFMS-RC directly replace SSM-110-S-DV-M in all applications?

A: No. While both connectors share the same 20-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch footprint, the NPPC102KFMS-RC has lower electrical ratings (3A vs. 5.2A per contact; 250V vs. 405VAC/572VDC) and a different connector type (header vs. receptacle). Substitution is only valid if the application requirements fall within the NPPC102KFMS-RC specifications.

Q: What is the difference between a receptacle and header connector?

A: The SSM-110-S-DV-M is a receptacle connector designed to accept mating pins. The NPPC102KFMS-RC is a header connector that provides the pins for mating. These are complementary connector types and cannot be directly substituted without changing the mating interface design.

Q: Are there temperature range differences that affect substitution?

A: Yes. The SSM-110-S-DV-M operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the NPPC102KFMS-RC operates from -40°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C require the SSM-110-S-DV-M.

Q: Do both parts have the same insulation material?

A: No. The SSM-110-S-DV-M uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while the NPPC102KFMS-RC uses Polyamide (PA6T), Nylon 6T. Material differences may affect mechanical properties and environmental resistance. The insulation height also differs slightly (0.290" vs. 0.299").

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SSM-110-S-DV-M and NPPC102KFMS-RC are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
