Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSQ-116-21-S-T and SSQ-116-01-S-T maintain Active product status within the Samtec SSQ series. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical differentiation. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements. The SSQ-116-01-S-T currently maintains higher inventory levels (1192 pcs vs. 1101 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSQ-116-21-S-T and SSQ-116-01-S-T electrically interchangeable?
