Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSQ-116-21-G-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 16-position receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Forked contact geometry
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Gold contact finish on mating surfaces
• 465VAC / 655VDC voltage rating
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• ROHS3 compliance status

The SSQ-116-01-G-S meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the SSQ series, maintaining identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSQ-116-21-G-S and SSQ-116-01-G-S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The SSQ-116-01-G-S maintains 17,188 units in stock compared to 957 units for the SSQ-116-21-G-S, providing greater availability for high-volume applications. Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 16-position receptacle connector applications operating within the specified voltage and temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSQ-116-01-G-S replace SSQ-116-21-G-S in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent 16-position receptacle connectors with identical mating pitch, contact configuration, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for SSQ series connectors?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector type (receptacle), position count (16), mating pitch (0.100"), contact type (forked), mounting method (through-hole), termination type (solder), fastening mechanism (push-pull), and contact finish specifications (gold plating).

Q: Are there differences in packaging or handling between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No differences in moisture sensitivity level (MSL) or handling requirements exist between the two parts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSQ-116-21-G-S and SSQ-116-01-G-S are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS codes.

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

A: The part numbers differ in their suffix designation (21-G-S versus 01-G-S), which reflects internal Samtec manufacturing or distribution variants. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.
