SSW-103-01-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-103-01-S-D is a 6-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1084 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSW-103-01-S-D are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the original specification:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-pull
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Contact finish thickness - mating: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Insulation color: Black
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze

The identified substitutes are TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part numbers 5-534206-3 and 534206-3 (AMPMODU Mod II series). Both parts satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the SSW-103-01-S-D in standard board-to-board and cable connection applications.

Parameter Comparison

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.
