Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSM-132-L-DV-BE-LC-K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle, bottom entry configuration
• Position count: 64 positions
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" row spacing
• Mounting method: Surface mount solder termination
• Contact system: Female socket with gold mating finish
• Electrical ratings: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC
• Temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Series family: Tiger Claw™ SSM
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant

The substitute part SSM-132-L-DV-BE-LC-M meets all these criteria, differing only in fastening mechanism designation while maintaining identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-132-L-DV-BE-LC-K and SSM-132-L-DV-BE-LC-M are active production components from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability: SSM-132-L-DV-BE-LC-M currently has higher stock (1113 units vs. 795 units)
• Fastening mechanism requirements: Verify the specific fastening type designation required by your application design
• Supply chain continuity: Either part provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for board-to-board or cable interconnect applications

Both connectors maintain identical electrical ratings, thermal performance, and contact specifications, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-132-L-DV-BE-LC-K and SSM-132-L-DV-BE-LC-M electrically interchangeable?
