Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-103-06-SM-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish specification (Gold mating surface)
• Current rating (4.7A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The SSW-103-06-S-D meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part within the SSW series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
