SSW-102-01-FM-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-102-01-FM-S is a 2-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 forked contacts with gold mating finish and tin post finish, rated for 4.7A per contact across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-102-01-FM-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (2)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact type (Forked)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Current rating (4.7A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Series designation (SSW)

The SSW-102-01-F-S meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent within the SSW series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-102-01-FM-S and SSW-102-01-F-S are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The SSW-102-01-F-S currently maintains higher inventory levels (4796 pcs vs. 996 pcs), making it suitable for applications where supply chain flexibility is a consideration. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-102-01-F-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-102-01-FM-S?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, mating pitch, contact configuration, current rating, and operating temperature range.

Q: Are there differences in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: The SSW-102-01-FM-S is rated as Not Applicable for Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), while the SSW-102-01-F-S is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both ratings indicate minimal moisture sensitivity for standard handling and storage conditions.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications.

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

A: The parts are functionally identical. The difference in part number designation reflects internal Samtec product line management. Selection should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, supporting industrial and automotive temperature requirements within this range.
