Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-103-01-G-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSW-103-21-G-P based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-103) and maintain equivalence across all critical substitution criteria: connector type (receptacle), position count (3), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), contact finish (gold), current rating (4.7A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), insulation material (LCP), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and RoHS compliance (ROHS3). The difference between these part numbers reflects packaging or configuration variants within the same electrical and mechanical specification class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-103-21-G-P and SSW-103-01-G-S are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and packaging requirements specific to your procurement process. Both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards (UL94 V-0, EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040) and are suitable for equivalent circuit applications requiring 3-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors with gold-plated contacts and 4.7A per contact current capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-103-01-G-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-103-21-G-P?
