Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-101-02-S-S is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
• Number of Positions: Must be 1
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Termination: Must be Solder
• Fastening Type: Must be Push-Pull
• Contact Finish - Mating: Must be Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: Must meet UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: Must be ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 311-43-101-41-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.) meets all critical substitution criteria. Variations in contact geometry (forked vs. female socket), insulation height, contact length, current rating, and contact material are within acceptable ranges for equivalent rectangular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-101-02-S-S and 311-43-101-41-001000 are Active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Both connectors maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C), identical flammability ratings (UL94 V-0), and identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1). The gold-plated mating contact finish and tin-plated post finish are consistent across both parts. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and specific mechanical fit requirements within the application's PCB layout and mating interface design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 311-43-101-41-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the SSW-101-02-S-S?

A: The 311-43-101-41-001000 meets all critical electrical and mechanical substitution criteria, including connector type, position count, mounting method, termination, fastening type, contact finish, operating temperature, flammability rating, and compliance certifications. Physical dimensions and contact geometry differ; mechanical fit verification is required for the specific application.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The SSW-101-02-S-S features a forked contact geometry with an insulation height of 0.335" (8.51mm) and a current rating of 4.7A per contact. The 311-43-101-41-001000 features a female socket contact geometry with an insulation height of 0.110" (2.79mm) and a current rating of 3A. The Mill-Max part also specifies a voltage rating of 100V, 150VDC. Contact material differs: Phosphor Bronze (Samtec) versus Beryllium Copper (Mill-Max).

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings across this range.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.69.4040. Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does the difference in current rating affect substitution eligibility?

A: Current rating is a design parameter that must be evaluated against application requirements. The SSW-101-02-S-S supports 4.7A per contact, while the 311-43-101-41-001000 supports 3A. Selection depends on the actual current load in the application circuit.
