Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSM-118-L-DV-K-TR is identified as a direct substitute for the SSM-118-L-DV-P-TR based on the following criteria:

Identical Electrical Parameters:

• 36 positions with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Female socket contact type with gold mating finish
• 5.2A per contact current rating
• 405VAC, 572VDC voltage rating
• -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range

Identical Mechanical Parameters:

• Surface mount termination
• Push-pull fastening type
• 2-row configuration with 0.100" row spacing
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation
• Phosphor bronze contact material

Difference:

• Packaging format: SSM-118-L-DV-K-TR uses Cut Tape (CT) instead of Tape & Reel (TR)

The substitution is valid for applications where packaging format does not impact assembly or procurement requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-118-L-DV-P-TR and SSM-118-L-DV-K-TR are Active status products from Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

• SSM-118-L-DV-P-TR (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where reel-based pick-and-place equipment is utilized.
• SSM-118-L-DV-K-TR (Cut Tape): Suitable for lower-volume applications, manual assembly, or where cut tape packaging is preferred for inventory management.

Both parts carry identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and compliance certifications. The substitution is valid across all electrical and thermal operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSM-118-L-DV-K-TR replace SSM-118-L-DV-P-TR in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid provided assembly equipment can accommodate the packaging type.

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

A: The packaging format differs. SSM-118-L-DV-P-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format for automated high-volume assembly. SSM-118-L-DV-K-TR is supplied in Cut Tape format for manual or lower-volume assembly operations.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical current ratings (5.2A per contact), voltage ratings (405VAC, 572VDC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and contact finish specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Which packaging format should I select for my application?

A: Select based on your assembly process. Tape & Reel (TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place systems. Cut Tape (CT) is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.
