Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSQ-108-23-L-S shares its base product number SSQ-108 with substitute part SSQ-108-03-L-S. Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (8), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting method (through hole), contact finishes (gold mating, tin post), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), voltage rating (465VAC, 655VDC), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0). Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the same SSQ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, establishing direct functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSQ-108-23-L-S and SSQ-108-03-L-S are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability or procurement lead times, as both maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The SSQ-108-03-L-S currently has higher inventory availability (1164 pcs) compared to SSQ-108-23-L-S (769 pcs). Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 8-position through-hole receptacle connectors with 0.100" pitch and gold contact finishes within the specified temperature and voltage operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSQ-108-03-L-S be used as a direct replacement for SSQ-108-23-L-S? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact finishes, operating temperature range, and voltage rating. They are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for SSQ-108 series connectors? A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: 8-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, through-hole mounting, gold mating contact finish, tin post finish, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, 465VAC/655VDC voltage rating, and ROHS3/UL94 V-0 compliance.

Q: Are there any mechanical differences between SSQ-108-23-L-S and SSQ-108-03-L-S? A: No. Both parts have identical insulation height (0.335"), contact length (0.394"), insulation material (LCP), and contact material (phosphor bronze).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both SSQ-108-23-L-S and SSQ-108-03-L-S are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers if all specifications match? A: The difference lies in the suffix designation within the SSQ-108 base product family. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain identical form, fit, and function. The suffix variation may reflect internal product line organization or manufacturing batch differentiation, but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.
