Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-102-23-G-S has one identified substitute: SSW-102-03-G-S. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-102) and are functionally equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• 2-position receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Forked contact type with gold plating
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• 4.7A per contact current rating
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material
• ROHS3 compliance

The substitution is valid across all electrical and mechanical parameters specified for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-102-23-G-S and SSW-102-03-G-S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The SSW-102-03-G-S offers higher current inventory levels (2700 units versus 899 units), which may provide supply chain advantages for high-volume applications. Both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards, including UL94 V-0 flammability rating and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSW-102-23-G-S and SSW-102-03-G-S electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical parameters, including current rating (4.7A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and contact material composition (phosphor bronze with gold plating).

Q: Are these connectors mechanically compatible in the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, including 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 0.335" (8.51mm) insulation height, and 0.394" (10.00mm) contact post length. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSW-102-23-G-S and SSW-102-03-G-S are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and EAR99 export classification.

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

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The difference in part numbers reflects internal Samtec product line designation. The SSW-102-03-G-S has higher inventory availability (2700 units in stock compared to 899 units for SSW-102-23-G-S).

Q: Can I use SSW-102-03-G-S as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SSW-102-03-G-S is a direct substitute with no design modifications required. All electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications are identical.
