Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSM-116-LM-SV-BE-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • 16-position configuration with all positions loaded
  • 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
  • Bottom entry receptacle connector type
  • Surface mount termination method
  • Gold contact finish on mating surfaces
  • 5.2A per contact current capacity
  • 405VAC / 572VDC voltage rating
  • -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
  • Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material
  • Push-pull fastening mechanism
  • ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

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