Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSQ-120-03-G-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSQ-120-23-G-S based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSQ-120) and maintain equivalence across all critical substitution criteria: connector type, position count, mating pitch, contact configuration, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, contact finish specifications, operating temperature range, voltage rating, and regulatory compliance status. The parts differ only in packaging designation suffix, which does not affect functional or electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSQ-120-23-G-S and SSQ-120-03-G-S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The SSQ-120-03-G-S offers higher current inventory levels (1340 units versus 615 units), which may provide supply chain advantages for high-volume applications. Both parts meet the same regulatory requirements and performance specifications for board-to-board or cable connector applications requiring 20-position, 0.100" pitch, gold-plated forked contact receptacles with push-pull fastening.
