SSW-104-03-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-104-03-S-D is an 8-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 through-hole solder termination, gold-plated mating contacts, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 928 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector series, enabling design flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-104-03-SM-D qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSW-104-03-S-D based on equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-104) and maintain identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch spacing, row configuration, mounting method, termination type, contact finish, current rating, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. The substitution is valid because all allowed parameters for rectangular connector selection remain constant between the two part numbers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-104-03-S-D and SSW-104-03-SM-D are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences. The SSW-104-03-S-D maintains higher stock levels at 928 units, while the SSW-104-03-SM-D provides 904 units. Both parts meet identical compliance standards and operational specifications for rectangular connector applications requiring 8-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole solder termination with gold-plated contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-104-03-SM-D replace SSW-104-03-S-D in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, termination type, contact finish, current rating, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between SSW-104-03-S-D and SSW-104-03-SM-D? A: The parts are functionally equivalent. Differences exist only in part number designation and current inventory levels. Both are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the SSW series and share the same base product number SSW-104.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both SSW-104-03-S-D and SSW-104-03-SM-D are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors? A: Both parts are rated for 4.7A per contact, suitable for standard board-to-board and cable interconnect applications.

Q: Can these connectors operate across the full temperature range? A: Yes. Both parts are rated for continuous operation from -55°C to 125°C, meeting industrial and commercial temperature requirements.

Q: What termination method is used? A: Both parts use solder termination for through-hole PCB mounting with push-pull fastening.
