SSQ-113-01-G-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSQ-113-01-G-S is a 13-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and is rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 900 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit alternative contact finishes or compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSQ-113-01-G-S are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both substitute parts maintain receptacle configuration with 13 positions, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating plugs designed for the original part.
• Pitch & Mounting: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and through-hole solder termination are preserved across all substitutes, maintaining PCB layout compatibility.
• Fastening & Contact Finish: Push-pull fastening and gold mating contact finish are maintained, ensuring consistent mating force and electrical performance.
• Operating Temperature: All substitutes support -65°C to 125°C, which encompasses the original -55°C to 125°C range.
• Contact Material & Shape: Phosphor bronze square contacts are consistent across all parts, providing equivalent contact resistance and durability.

The two identified substitutes (1-534237-1 and 6-534237-1) are both TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod IV series connectors that meet these core equivalence criteria. Differences in insulation material (polyester glass-filled vs. LCP), post contact finish (tin-lead or tin vs. gold), and compliance certifications are secondary variations that do not affect core connector functionality for standard board-to-board applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 6-534237-1

The 6-534237-1 is the preferred substitute for the SSQ-113-01-G-S. This part maintains RoHS3 compliance matching the original specification and carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The connector shares all critical functional parameters: 13-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) provides additional margin beyond the original -55°C to 125°C specification. Higher inventory availability (5513 units) supports supply chain continuity. The tin post contact finish differs from the original gold finish but is suitable for standard solder joint applications.

Secondary Substitute: 1-534237-1

The 1-534237-1 provides functional equivalence in connector geometry and mating characteristics but carries RoHS non-compliance status and lacks specified flammability certification. This part is suitable only for applications where RoHS compliance is not required and where regulatory or customer specifications do not mandate UL94 V-0 certification. The tin-lead post contact finish is present in this variant.

Compliance Considerations

Applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification must use 6-534237-1. Applications subject to REACH regulations should evaluate the vendor-undefined REACH status of 6-534237-1 or confirm exemption applicability. The original SSQ-113-01-G-S maintains REACH Unaffected status, which may be preferable in regulated environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-534237-1 or 6-534237-1 be used as direct replacements for SSQ-113-01-G-S in existing designs?

A: Both parts share the same 13-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle configuration with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established for standard board-to-board applications. However, compliance requirements must be evaluated: 6-534237-1 maintains RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 certification matching the original; 1-534237-1 does not. Post contact finish differs (tin or tin-lead vs. gold), which does not affect solder joint performance but may impact long-term corrosion resistance in high-humidity environments.

Q: What are the differences in insulation material between the original and substitute parts?

A: The SSQ-113-01-G-S uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while both TE Connectivity substitutes use polyester glass-filled insulation. Both materials are suitable for standard connector applications and support the specified operating temperature ranges. LCP offers superior dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption; polyester glass-filled provides cost efficiency. Material selection does not affect connector mating or electrical performance in typical applications.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish thickness that affect performance?

A: Mating contact gold plating thickness is 20.0µin on the original part versus 30.0µin on both substitutes, providing additional corrosion protection on the substitute parts. Post contact finish thickness is significantly higher on substitutes (150.0µin tin or tin-lead vs. 3.00µin gold on the original), but this difference does not affect solder joint quality or electrical performance. The thicker post finish on substitutes may provide improved durability in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: The 6-534237-1 is the only substitute that maintains RoHS3 compliance. The 1-534237-1 is explicitly RoHS non-compliant and must not be used in applications subject to RoHS directives or customer RoHS requirements.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The original SSQ-113-01-G-S operates from -55°C to 125°C. Both substitutes extend the lower temperature limit to -65°C, providing an additional 10°C margin at low temperatures. The upper temperature limit of 125°C is identical. This extended range on substitutes does not create incompatibility; it represents an expanded capability envelope.

Q: What packaging differences exist, and do they affect compatibility?

A: The original part is supplied in bulk packaging, while both substitutes are supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector form, fit, or function. Tube packaging may provide improved protection during storage and handling compared to bulk packaging.
