Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-TR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, position count, and pitch specifications (8-position, 0.100" mating pitch, 2-row configuration)
• Electrical characteristics (4.7A per contact current rating, gold mating contact finish)
• Mechanical interface (surface mount, forked contact design, push-pull fastening)
• Environmental and compliance ratings (operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1)
• Termination method (solder)

The identified substitute part SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-K-TR differs only in packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All other specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-TR and SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-K-TR are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance.

The SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-TR (Tape & Reel packaging) is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations. The SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-K-TR (Cut Tape packaging) provides flexibility for lower-volume production runs or manual assembly processes. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-TR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the original part is specified.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, suitable for manual handling or lower-volume assembly. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when switching between these packaging formats?

A: No. The connector itself is identical. Compatibility differences exist only in assembly process requirements and handling procedures, not in electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-TR and SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-K-TR are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. They meet identical environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the SSW-104-22-S-D-VS-TR?

A: Substitution requires matching specifications across connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, contact type, contact finish, current rating, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. Packaging format does not affect substitution eligibility.
