SSQ-104-01-TM-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSQ-104-01-TM-S is a 4-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features through-hole solder termination, tin-plated contacts, and operates across -55°C to 105°C. The product maintains Active status with 802 units in current inventory stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where connector type variation is acceptable within system design constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSQ-104-01-TM-S is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 4
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• Contact Shape: Square

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Insulation Height: 0.335" (8.51mm)
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C (or compatible subset)

The PPTC041LFBN-RC satisfies these substitution criteria across all mechanical and electrical parameters. Connector type variation (Receptacle vs. Header) is acceptable when mating interface design accommodates the alternative contact configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitution Criteria Met:

The PPTC041LFBN-RC demonstrates compatibility across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters: 4-position configuration, 0.100" pitch spacing, through-hole solder termination, tin-plated square contacts, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Parameter Considerations:

Operating temperature range for PPTC041LFBN-RC (-40°C ~ 105°C) covers the upper portion of SSQ-104-01-TM-S specifications (-55°C ~ 105°C). Applications requiring operation below -40°C require the main part.

Voltage rating differential exists: SSQ-104-01-TM-S supports 465VAC/655VDC while PPTC041LFBN-RC is rated 250V. Applications exceeding 250V require the main part.

Insulation material variation (LCP vs. Polyester) does not affect substitution eligibility when environmental exposure and mechanical stress profiles remain within both material specifications.

Availability & Supply:

PPTC041LFBN-RC maintains significantly higher inventory (30858 units) compared to SSQ-104-01-TM-S (802 units), supporting extended lead-time mitigation strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PPTC041LFBN-RC directly replace SSQ-104-01-TM-S in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible when application voltage requirements do not exceed 250V and operating temperature remains above -40°C. Connector type variation (Header vs. Receptacle) requires compatible mating interface design. Verify PCB layout accommodates the substitute part's contact configuration.

Q: What is the primary difference between these connectors?

A: SSQ-104-01-TM-S is a receptacle connector with forked contacts; PPTC041LFBN-RC is a header connector with female socket contacts. Both maintain identical pitch spacing (0.100"), position count (4), and through-hole solder termination. Contact geometry variation requires mating component compatibility assessment.

Q: Are there voltage or temperature limitations when using PPTC041LFBN-RC?

A: PPTC041LFBN-RC operates within -40°C to 105°C and supports 250V maximum. Applications requiring 465VAC or 655VDC operation, or temperatures below -40°C, must use SSQ-104-01-TM-S.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating. PPTC041LFBN-RC includes MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: SSQ-104-01-TM-S packaging is not specified in available data. PPTC041LFBN-RC is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: How do contact materials compare?

A: Both connectors use phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating on mating surfaces. Contact material and finish specifications are identical, supporting electrical performance equivalence.

Q: Is the insulation material difference significant?

A: SSQ-104-01-TM-S uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP); PPTC041LFBN-RC uses Polyester. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 rating. Material selection depends on specific environmental exposure, mechanical stress, and chemical compatibility requirements of the application.
