Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE Connectivity substitute parts (5-534206-3 and 534206-3) maintain full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the SSW-103-01-S-D for standard board-to-board and cable connection applications. The following considerations apply:

5-534206-3 (TE Connectivity): This part is RoHS compliant and carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification, matching the compliance profile of the original SSW-103-01-S-D. The operating temperature range extends to -65°C, providing enhanced low-temperature performance. This variant is recommended for applications requiring strict RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 certification.

534206-3 (TE Connectivity): This part uses tin-lead contact finish on the post and does not carry RoHS compliance designation. The material flammability rating is not specified. This variant is suitable for legacy applications or systems where RoHS compliance is not required.

Both substitutes feature lower current ratings (2A per contact) compared to the original part (4.7A per contact). Applications requiring the full 4.7A current capacity per contact must retain the SSW-103-01-S-D. For standard signal-level applications operating below 2A per contact, both substitutes provide equivalent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity parts directly replace the SSW-103-01-S-D in my application?

A: Yes, for applications operating at or below 2A per contact. The mechanical interface, pitch spacing, number of positions, and fastening mechanism are identical. If your application requires the full 4.7A current capacity per contact, the SSW-103-01-S-D must be retained.

Q: What is the difference between 5-534206-3 and 534206-3?

A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. The primary differences are: 5-534206-3 is RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 certification; 534206-3 uses tin-lead post finish and is not RoHS compliant. Select 5-534206-3 for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The SSW-103-01-S-D has an insulation height of 0.335" (8.51mm) and contact post length of 0.104" (2.64mm). The TE Connectivity substitutes have an insulation height of 0.320" (8.13mm) and contact post length of 0.115" (2.92mm). These differences are within typical PCB design tolerances for standard board-to-board applications but should be verified for space-constrained designs.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The SSW-103-01-S-D is supplied in bulk packaging. Both TE Connectivity substitutes are supplied in tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Do all parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: The SSW-103-01-S-D operates from -55°C to 125°C. The TE Connectivity substitutes operate from -65°C to 125°C, providing extended low-temperature capability.
