Key Parameters

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.
