Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSM-120-L-DV-BE-P are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. The substitution criteria are:

• Base product number: SSM-120
• Connector configuration: 40-position receptacle, bottom entry
• Pitch and row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting method: Surface mount with solder termination
• Contact specifications: Female socket, gold-plated mating surface, phosphor bronze material
• Electrical ratings: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC
• Environmental compliance: ROHS3, MSL 1
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Parts meeting all these parameters are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SSM-120-L-DV-BE-P, SSM-120-L-DV-BE-M, and SSM-120-L-DV-BE-K—are functionally equivalent rectangular connectors within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series. Each maintains Active product status and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Selection among these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical differences. Current inventory levels are:

• SSM-120-L-DV-BE-P: 1146 pcs
• SSM-120-L-DV-BE-M: 1119 pcs
• SSM-120-L-DV-BE-K: 749 pcs

All parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 40-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors with gold-plated contacts and 5.2A per contact current rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-120-L-DV-BE-P, SSM-120-L-DV-BE-M, and SSM-120-L-DV-BE-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications including 5.2A per contact current rating, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are these parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts feature identical mechanical configurations: 40-position receptacle, bottom entry, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row layout, surface mount termination, and gold-plated female socket contacts.

Q: What determines substitutability among these parts?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching connector type, position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting method, contact finish, current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. All three parts meet these criteria.

Q: Do these parts have different compliance or environmental ratings?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating identical environmental performance and unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in my PCB design?

A: Yes. The identical footprint, pitch, and mounting specifications allow direct substitution without PCB redesign.
