Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3M 929850-01-16-RB qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSQ-116-01-S-S based on the following critical parameters:

• 16-position receptacle configuration with identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Forked contact type with gold-plated mating surfaces
• Single-row layout with square contact geometry
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance
• Equivalent connector style for board-to-board applications

Substitution is valid where the mechanical envelope, electrical performance within specified ratings, and environmental compliance meet application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSQ-116-01-S-S and 929850-01-16-RB are active production components with equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on the following considerations:

The SSQ-116-01-S-S offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and lower voltage rating (465VAC / 655VDC), making it suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance. The 929850-01-16-RB provides higher voltage capability (1500V) and specified current rating (2A), with a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). Mechanical differences include insulation height variance (0.335" vs. 0.325") and contact post length (0.104" vs. 0.125"), which may affect PCB layout compatibility. Both connectors maintain identical pitch, contact finish specifications, and push-pull fastening, ensuring functional interchangeability in standard board-to-board applications where thermal and voltage requirements align.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 929850-01-16-RB directly replace the SSQ-116-01-S-S in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is valid for applications operating within the 929850-01-16-RB's temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and voltage requirements (up to 1500V). Applications requiring the extended low-temperature performance of the SSQ-116-01-S-S (-55°C) require verification of thermal compatibility.

Q: What are the mechanical differences between these connectors?

A: The primary mechanical differences are insulation height (0.335" for SSQ-116-01-S-S vs. 0.325" for 929850-01-16-RB) and contact post length (0.104" vs. 0.125"). These variations may affect PCB footprint spacing and mating depth. Verify PCB layout compatibility before substitution.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The SSQ-116-01-S-S is ROHS3 Compliant, and the 929850-01-16-RB is RoHS Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material?

A: The SSQ-116-01-S-S uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while the 929850-01-16-RB uses Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT) with polyester and glass filling. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection may influence mechanical properties and environmental resistance.

Q: Which connector should be selected for high-voltage applications?

A: The 929850-01-16-RB is rated for 1500V, providing higher voltage capability than the SSQ-116-01-S-S (465VAC / 655VDC). For applications exceeding 655VDC, the 929850-01-16-RB is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the contact finishes identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature gold-plated mating contacts (30.0µin / 0.76µm thickness) and tin-plated posts, ensuring equivalent electrical contact performance and corrosion resistance.
