Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-102-01-L-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSW-102-21-L-S based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-102) and are differentiated only by internal design variants that do not affect functional interchangeability. Substitution is valid when the following parameters match:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 2
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting method: Through hole solder termination
• Contact configuration: Forked contacts with gold mating finish
• Current rating: 4.7A per contact
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Compliance certifications: UL94 V-0, ROHS3

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-102-21-L-S and SSW-102-01-L-S are active production parts with identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 and UL94 V-0). Selection between these parts should be based on availability and inventory status. The SSW-102-21-L-S has 1045 pieces in stock, while the SSW-102-01-L-S has 1025 pieces available. Both parts meet all regulatory requirements for applications requiring rectangular connectors with gold-plated contacts and through-hole solder termination. No technical differentiation exists between these parts for standard application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-102-01-L-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-102-21-L-S?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, current rating, operating temperature range, contact finishes, and insulation material. They are interchangeable for all applications.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the SSW-102-21-L-S?

A: A substitute part must match all of the following: 2-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole mounting, forked contact type, 4.7A per contact rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, gold mating contact finish, tin post finish, and Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both are active production parts with no known obsolescence.

Q: Does packaging affect substitution?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Q: What is the contact current capacity?

A: Both parts are rated for 4.7A per contact, supporting applications requiring this current level within the specified operating temperature range.
