Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-102-01-L-P has one identified equivalent substitute: SSW-102-01-L-S. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications that define substitution eligibility within the SSW series. The substitution is valid based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, position count, and mating pitch (0.100")
• Contact configuration: forked contacts with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Current rating of 4.7A per contact
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification

Both parts belong to the same base product family (SSW-102) and maintain full electrical and mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-102-01-L-P and SSW-102-01-L-S are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The SSW-102-01-L-S currently has higher inventory availability (1025 pcs vs. 766 pcs), which may provide supply chain advantages for high-volume applications. Both parts maintain EAR99 export classification and are suitable for applications requiring UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and operating temperatures within the -55°C to 125°C range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSW-102-01-L-P and SSW-102-01-L-S fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, mating pitch, contact configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, and material certifications. They are direct substitutes within the SSW-102 base product family.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (2), mating pitch (0.100"), contact type (forked), contact finishes (gold mating/tin post), current rating (4.7A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), insulation material (LCP), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operating temperatures up to 125°C, making them suitable for applications within this thermal range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSW-102-01-L-P and SSW-102-01-L-S are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the current-carrying capacity of these connectors?

A: Each contact is rated for 4.7A, providing a total capacity of 9.4A for the 2-position connector.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or inventory between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The primary difference is inventory availability: SSW-102-01-L-S has 1025 pcs in stock compared to 766 pcs for SSW-102-01-L-P.
