Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-104-03-F-S qualifies as a substitute for the SSW-104-23-F-S based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-104) and maintain compatibility across all critical substitution criteria:

• Connector type, contact configuration, and position count are identical
• Mating pitch and mounting methodology are unchanged
• Contact materials, finishes, and current ratings are equivalent
• Operating temperature range and flammability rating are identical
• Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements

The substitution is valid where design specifications do not impose constraints on moisture sensitivity level or specific inventory sourcing requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-104-23-F-S and SSW-104-03-F-S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability: SSW-104-03-F-S has higher stock levels (1670 units vs. 728 units)
• Moisture sensitivity requirements: SSW-104-03-F-S carries MSL 1 rating, while SSW-104-23-F-S is not applicable for MSL
• Supply chain considerations: Either part is suitable for applications where moisture sensitivity is not a design constraint

Both parts maintain equivalent performance in board-to-board and cable connector applications within the specified operating temperature and current rating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-104-03-F-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-104-23-F-S?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, mating pitch, contact materials, current rating, and operating temperature range. The parts are functionally interchangeable in applications where moisture sensitivity level is not a design constraint.

Q: What is the difference between SSW-104-23-F-S and SSW-104-03-F-S?

A: The primary difference is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) designation. SSW-104-23-F-S is not applicable for MSL, while SSW-104-03-F-S carries an MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both SSW-104-23-F-S and SSW-104-03-F-S are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: What is the current handling capacity of these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 4.7A per contact, with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSW-104-23-F-S and SSW-104-03-F-S are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What mounting method do these connectors use?

A: Both parts use through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening type for board-to-board or cable applications.
