Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSQ-102-21-F-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle, 2 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Contact Specifications: Forked contact type, gold mating finish (3.00µin thickness), tin post finish
• Mounting & Termination: Through hole mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: 465VAC / 655VDC voltage rating
• Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature -55°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability, ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part SSQ-102-01-F-S matches all critical parameters within this specification envelope, confirming functional and mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSQ-102-21-F-S and SSQ-102-01-F-S maintain Active product status from Samtec Inc., ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply chain availability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical ratings, environmental specifications, and mechanical dimensions. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements, as they are functionally equivalent for all specified applications. Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSQ-102-01-F-S be used as a direct replacement for SSQ-102-21-F-S?

A: Yes. Both parts are 2-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch (0.100"), contact configuration (forked), finish specifications (gold mating, tin post), and electrical ratings (465VAC / 655VDC). They share the same mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: Are there any mechanical differences between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors have identical insulation height (0.335"), contact length (0.104"), and use the same insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer). Physical footprint and PCB mounting requirements are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSQ-102-21-F-S and SSQ-102-01-F-S are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?

A: The difference lies in the suffix designation within the SSQ-102 base product family. Both parts are functionally equivalent receptacle connectors within the Samtec SSQ series, with the suffix indicating internal manufacturing or packaging variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

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

A: Both parts are rated for continuous operation from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.
