Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSM-136-L-DV-K are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 72 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Electrical Performance: 5.2A per contact current rating, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating
• Physical Interface: Surface mount termination, push-pull fastening, gold mating contact finish
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance, operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C
• Series Compatibility: Tiger Claw™ SSM series designation

The SSM-136-L-DV-P is classified as a direct substitute based on identical values across all provided electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSM-136) and differ only in packaging designation (K vs. P), which does not affect functional or performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-136-L-DV-K and SSM-136-L-DV-P are Active status components with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on packaging and inventory availability rather than functional differences.

The SSM-136-L-DV-K is supplied in Tube packaging with 983 pieces in stock. The SSM-136-L-DV-P is supplied in Tube packaging with 839 pieces in stock. Both parts meet all regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications within the specified operating temperature range and electrical ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-136-L-DV-K and SSM-136-L-DV-P electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical ratings of 5.2A per contact and 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating, identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze with gold plating), and identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the difference between the K and P designations?

A: The K and P designations indicate different packaging formats. Both parts are supplied in Tube packaging but represent different order configurations or manufacturing batches within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operating temperatures up to 125°C, making them suitable for standard industrial applications. Applications requiring temperatures beyond this range require alternative component selection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSM-136-L-DV-K and SSM-136-L-DV-P are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: What is the contact pitch and row spacing?

A: Both parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing, providing a 72-position configuration across 2 rows in a standard 0.1-inch grid layout.

Q: Are these parts suitable for surface mount assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are Surface Mount connectors with solder termination and Pick and Place compatibility, designed for automated PCB assembly processes.
