Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-104-02-T-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSW-104-02-T-P based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-104), connector configuration, contact specifications, and performance ratings. The substitution is valid because the following critical parameters are identical:

• 4-position receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Through-hole solder termination
• Forked contact type with tin plating
• 4.7A per contact current rating
• -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material
• Phosphor bronze contact material

The only difference between these parts is packaging designation (T-P versus T-S), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-104-02-T-P and SSW-104-02-T-S are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and packaging requirements specific to your procurement process. The SSW-104-02-T-S currently has higher inventory availability (1487 units versus 764 units). Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are classified under the same ECCN and HTSUS codes, ensuring regulatory consistency across applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-104-02-T-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-104-02-T-P in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the T-P and T-S packaging designations?

A: The packaging designation indicates different bulk packaging formats from the manufacturer. This does not affect the connector's electrical performance, mechanical fit, or compatibility with mating components.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?
