Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSQ-106-02-S-T-RA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (18)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (3)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Contact finish on mating surface (Gold)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Voltage rating (465VAC, 655VDC)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The SSQ-106-22-S-T-RA meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent substitute within the SSQ series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSQ-106-02-S-T-RA and SSQ-106-22-S-T-RA are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The SSQ-106-22-S-T-RA currently maintains higher inventory levels at 951 pieces compared to 895 pieces for the main part number. Both connectors are suitable for applications requiring 18-position rectangular receptacle connectivity with gold-plated contacts and right-angle through-hole mounting within the specified voltage and temperature operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSQ-106-22-S-T-RA be used as a direct replacement for SSQ-106-02-S-T-RA?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact finish, and operating ratings.

Q: Are there differences in contact material or finish specifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and tin post finish.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and certification standards?

A: Yes. Both the SSQ-106-02-S-T-RA and SSQ-106-22-S-T-RA are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers within the SSQ series?

A: The difference is indicated by the middle designator in the part number (02 versus 22). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 18-position receptacle configuration.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations for selection?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The SSQ-106-22-S-T-RA has higher current inventory availability at 951 pieces compared to 895 pieces for the SSQ-106-02-S-T-RA.
