Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSM-116-LM-SV-BE-K are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle, bottom entry configuration
• Number of positions: 16-position
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting technology: Surface mount solder termination
• Contact system: Female socket with gold mating finish
• Electrical ratings: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Fastening type: Push-pull mechanism
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1

The SSM-116-L-SV-BE-K maintains all these parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series.

Parameter Comparison

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, suitable for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-116-LM-SV-BE-K and SSM-116-L-SV-BE-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings of 5.2A per contact and 405VAC/572VDC voltage specifications, with matching operating temperature ranges of -55°C ~ 125°C.

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

A: The parts are functionally equivalent across all provided electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in part numbering reflect internal Samtec designation but do not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Can these connectors be used in the same PCB layout?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), mounting type (surface mount), and physical configuration (16-position receptacle, bottom entry), allowing direct substitution in board designs.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 rating, meeting the same regulatory and environmental requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on current inventory availability and supply chain lead times. Both parts are active production items with equivalent specifications suitable for new applications.
