Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 929852-01-04-RB (3M) qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both are 8-position receptacle connectors with identical 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 2-row configuration
• Mounting & Termination: Both use through-hole mounting with solder termination and push-pull fastening
• Contact Interface: Both feature forked contacts with gold mating finish and square contact geometry
• Mechanical Compatibility: Row spacing and contact positioning are identical, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS standards

Substitution is valid within the scope of these matched parameters. Variations in contact finish thickness, insulation height, operating temperature range, and current rating represent design differences that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-104-06-G-D and 929852-01-04-RB are active production parts with full RoHS compliance. Selection between these connectors is determined by application-specific electrical and thermal requirements:

SSW-104-06-G-D (Samtec) is suitable for applications requiring:

• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Higher current capacity (4.7A per contact)
• Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material

929852-01-04-RB (3M) is suitable for applications requiring:

• Standard operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C)
• Specified voltage rating (1500V)
• PCT/Polyester/Glass-filled insulation material
• Lower current requirements (2A per contact)

Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical pitch, row spacing, contact geometry, and fastening mechanisms. Substitution is valid when application parameters fall within the operating specifications of the selected alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), number of positions (8), and push-pull fastening. PCB footprints are compatible. Minor differences in insulation height (0.335" vs 0.325") and contact post length (0.124" vs 0.125") are within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect mechanical fit.

Q: What are the key electrical differences?

A: The SSW-104-06-G-D supports 4.7A per contact with an extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The 929852-01-04-RB supports 2A per contact, a specified 1500V voltage rating, and operates within -40°C to 105°C. Application current and voltage requirements determine which part is appropriate.

Q: Do both connectors use the same contact finish?

A: Both use gold mating finish. The SSW-104-06-G-D has 20.0µin (0.51µm) thickness, while the 929852-01-04-RB has 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The 3M part provides thicker gold plating. Contact post finishes differ: Samtec uses gold; 3M uses tin.

Q: Are there insulation material differences?

A: Yes. The SSW-104-06-G-D uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). The 929852-01-04-RB uses Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT) with polyester and glass filler. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements. Material selection may affect thermal and chemical resistance in specific environments.

Q: Which part should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: The SSW-104-06-G-D supports -55°C to 125°C operation, making it suitable for extended temperature range applications. The 929852-01-04-RB operates within -40°C to 105°C and is appropriate for standard industrial temperature ranges.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The SSW-104-06-G-D is ROHS3 compliant. The 929852-01-04-RB is RoHS compliant. Both meet lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions for current regulatory requirements.
