SSM-116-L-DV-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-116-L-DV-TR is a 32-position rectangular receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series. This surface mount, pass-through connector features gold-plated female sockets with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The part is currently active in production with 845 units in stock. Alternative models may be required when specific design features such as board lock mechanisms or pick-and-place compatibility are needed for manufacturing optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-116-L-DV-LC-P-TR qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that remain identical:

• Number of positions: 32
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish - Mating: Gold
• Current rating: 5.2A per Contact
• Voltage rating: 405VAC, 572VDC
• Operating temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Connector type: Receptacle, Pass Through
• Contact type: Female Socket
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-Pull
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part differs only in the addition of board lock and pick-and-place features, which represent functional enhancements rather than electrical or mechanical incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-116-L-DV-TR and SSM-116-L-DV-LC-P-TR are active products with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The SSM-116-L-DV-LC-P-TR offers enhanced manufacturing capabilities through board lock and pick-and-place features while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements and design constraints rather than electrical performance, as both parts meet the same functional specifications for 32-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-116-L-DV-LC-P-TR be used as a direct replacement for SSM-116-L-DV-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC), mechanical dimensions (32 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2 rows), contact materials (phosphor bronze with gold plating), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitute part includes additional board lock and pick-and-place features that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The SSM-116-L-DV-LC-P-TR includes board lock and pick-and-place features not present in the SSM-116-L-DV-TR. These are manufacturing and assembly enhancements that do not alter the connector's electrical performance or mating interface.

Q: Are the mating interfaces identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), number of positions (32), and contact geometry. They are fully compatible with the same mating plugs and cables.

Q: Do both parts have the same current and voltage ratings?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5.2A per contact and 405VAC/572VDC maximum voltage. Operating temperature range is identical at -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. They share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements. The SSM-116-L-DV-LC-P-TR is preferred when board lock retention and automated pick-and-place assembly are required. The SSM-116-L-DV-TR is suitable for applications where these features are not necessary.
