SSQ-130-01-G-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSQ-130-01-G-S is a 30-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 product is currently active and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring push-pull fastening and solder termination.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements, supply chain constraints, or manufacturing transitions necessitate alternative connector options that maintain functional compatibility within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSQ-130-01-G-S are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both substitute parts are 30-position receptacles, matching the main part exactly.
• Pitch & Mounting: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with through-hole solder termination ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility.
• Fastening & Contact Configuration: Push-pull fastening and square contact geometry are maintained across all parts.
• Mating Contact Finish: Gold plating on mating contacts ensures consistent electrical performance.
• Operating Temperature: All parts operate within overlapping temperature ranges suitable for industrial applications.
• Compliance & Certifications: RoHS and flammability ratings are evaluated for regulatory alignment.

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors parts 2-534237-8 and 7-534237-8 meet these substitution criteria, with 7-534237-8 offering the highest compliance alignment due to RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: 7-534237-8

The TE Connectivity 7-534237-8 is the preferred substitute for the SSQ-130-01-G-S. This part maintains full compliance alignment with RoHS requirements and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, matching the regulatory profile of the original part. The extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) provides additional thermal margin. Gold contact finish thickness of 30.0µin exceeds the original specification, ensuring enhanced contact durability and electrical performance.

Secondary Selection: 2-534237-8

The TE Connectivity 2-534237-8 provides functional equivalence in connector geometry, pitch, and termination method. However, this part is RoHS non-compliant and lacks specified flammability certification. Selection of this part is appropriate only when regulatory compliance is not a design requirement or when legacy system compatibility is the primary constraint.

Compliance Considerations

For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 certification, 7-534237-8 is the only qualifying substitute. For applications with no regulatory compliance requirements, both TE Connectivity parts provide mechanical and electrical interchangeability with the SSQ-130-01-G-S.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-534237-8 and 7-534237-8 be used interchangeably with SSQ-130-01-G-S?

A: Both parts share identical connector geometry, pitch, position count, and termination method. However, 7-534237-8 is the preferred substitute due to RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 certification alignment with the original part. Selection of 2-534237-8 requires confirmation that RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for the application.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance. 7-534237-8 is RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, while 2-534237-8 is RoHS non-compliant with unspecified flammability certification. Both parts have identical mating contact finish thickness (30.0µin) and current rating (2A).

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns with the substitute parts?

A: Insulation height differs slightly between the original part (0.335") and both substitutes (0.340"). This 0.005" difference is within typical PCB tolerance stackup and does not affect push-pull fastening or mating interface compatibility. Contact length on the post side is longer on substitute parts (0.115" vs. 0.104"), which is compatible with standard through-hole PCB designs.

Q: What is the impact of different insulation materials?

A: The original part uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while substitutes use Polyester, Glass Filled insulation. Both materials meet the specified operating temperature range and provide equivalent electrical insulation properties for this connector class. Material selection does not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: How do the contact finish specifications compare?

A: The original part specifies 20.0µin gold on mating contacts; both substitutes provide 30.0µin gold thickness. Thicker gold plating on substitutes provides enhanced contact durability and corrosion resistance, representing an improvement over the original specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part is supplied in bulk packaging, while both substitute parts are supplied in tube packaging. Tube packaging provides improved protection during storage and handling but may require different receiving and inventory procedures.
