SSM-116-L-SV-BE-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSM-116-L-SV-BE-P is a 16-position receptacle connector from Samtec Inc.'s Tiger Claw™ SSM series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. This bottom-entry surface mount connector features gold-plated mating contacts 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, making it suitable for high-reliability applications requiring standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch interconnection.

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental specifications while offering alternative sourcing options or inventory availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-116-L-SV-BE-K qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSM-116-L-SV-BE-P based on the following criteria:

Identical Electrical Parameters:

• 16-position configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• 5.2A per contact current rating
• 405VAC / 572VDC voltage rating
• Gold-plated mating contacts with 10.0µin thickness

Identical Mechanical Parameters:

• Bottom-entry receptacle connector
• Surface mount termination
• Push-pull fastening type
• 0.290" (7.37mm) insulation height
• Square contact geometry

Identical Environmental & Compliance:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• ROHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating
• Phosphor bronze contact material with tin post finish
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation

Both parts share the same base product number (SSM-116) and series designation (Tiger Claw™ SSM), confirming functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSM-116-L-SV-BE-P and SSM-116-L-SV-BE-K are active production parts with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: The SSM-116-L-SV-BE-K currently has higher stock levels (907 pcs vs. 654 pcs), making it preferable for applications requiring immediate procurement or high-volume orders.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring suitability for regulated industries and moisture-sensitive applications without additional handling requirements.

Supply Chain Continuity: Both parts share the same base product number and series, confirming long-term availability and design stability within the Tiger Claw™ SSM connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-116-L-SV-BE-K be used as a direct replacement for SSM-116-L-SV-BE-P in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally identical across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any differences in contact plating or material composition?

A: No. Both parts use identical gold-plated mating contacts (10.0µin thickness), phosphor bronze contact material, and tin post finish. Insulation material is Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) in both cases.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes (-P vs. -K)?

A: The suffix variation indicates different internal manufacturing or packaging designations within Samtec's product line. Both parts maintain identical form, fit, and function for board-to-board or cable applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, supporting industrial and automotive applications within this thermal envelope.

Q: Do both parts require the same moisture handling procedures?

A: No special handling is required. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity concerns.

Q: What is the mating connector for these receptacle parts?

A: These are 16-position receptacles with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. They mate with corresponding 16-position plugs or headers with matching pitch and contact geometry from the Tiger Claw™ SSM series or compatible 0.100" pitch connectors.
