SSM-111-L-DV-BE-K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-111-L-DV-BE-K is a 22-position receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series, designed for surface mount applications with bottom entry configuration. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, and is rated for 5.2A per contact at 405VAC/572VDC. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Alternative models within the same series may be required due to inventory availability, specific packaging requirements, or application-specific lead time considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-111-L-DV-BE-K has one identified substitute within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series: SSM-111-L-DV-BE-P. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Bottom Entry
• Number of positions: 22
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish (mating): Gold
• Current rating: 5.2A per Contact
• Voltage rating: 405VAC, 572VDC
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Fastening type: Push-Pull

The substitute part differs only in packaging configuration (Tube for both) and inventory status, with all electrical and mechanical specifications remaining constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-111-L-DV-BE-K and SSM-111-L-DV-BE-P are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging quantity needs (both supplied in Tube packaging)
• Current stock levels at your supplier

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes and storage conditions. No additional qualification or testing is required when substituting between these variants, as all functional parameters remain constant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-111-L-DV-BE-P be used as a direct replacement for SSM-111-L-DV-BE-K?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. All contact ratings, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting type, and operating parameters are identical. The parts differ only in part number designation and current inventory levels.

Q: What determines compatibility between these connector variants?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector type (Receptacle, Bottom Entry), position count (22), pitch spacing (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), mounting method (Surface Mount), contact finish (Gold), current rating (5.2A per contact), and voltage rating (405VAC/572VDC).

Q: Are there any thermal or environmental differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and share the same insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. Both parts use identical surface mount footprints with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and 2-row configuration. PCB layout and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix difference (K vs. P)?

A: The suffix indicates a variant designation within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. Both variants maintain identical specifications and are interchangeable for all functional purposes.
