Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSM-150-LM-DH are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Connector Type & Style: Receptacle, Board to Board or Cable
• Contact Configuration: 100 positions, 2 rows, female socket contacts
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount, right angle, solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC voltage rating
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C operating window

The substitute part SSM-150-L-DH matches all critical parameters, confirming direct functional equivalence within the Tiger Claw™ SSM series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSM-150-LM-DH and SSM-150-L-DH are Active status products from Samtec Inc., ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications (5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC), making them functionally equivalent for applications requiring 100-position, 0.100" pitch surface mount receptacle connectors.

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements, as all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, eliminating special handling considerations during storage and assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSM-150-LM-DH and SSM-150-L-DH directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5.2A per contact, 405VAC/572VDC), mechanical configuration (100 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch), mounting type (surface mount, right angle), and environmental specifications (-55°C to 125°C). They are functionally equivalent within the same application.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector series?

A: Substitution is valid when parts maintain identical position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting orientation, contact finish, current/voltage ratings, and operating temperature range. All these parameters are matched between the main part and substitute.

Q: Do both parts require the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both SSM-150-LM-DH and SSM-150-L-DH are surface mount, right-angle connectors with identical pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), and insulation height (0.225"). PCB layout and footprint design are interchangeable.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and share identical HTSUS codes. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) is the same for both parts.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: Selection should prioritize current inventory levels and lead time requirements. The SSM-150-L-DH currently has higher inventory (1106 pcs) compared to SSM-150-LM-DH (717 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.
