Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-105-01-F-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSW-105-01-FM-S based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both are 5-position receptacle connectors
• Pitch & Mating Interface: Identical 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Contact Configuration: Both feature forked contacts with gold mating finish and identical current rating of 4.7A per contact
• Mounting & Termination: Both use through-hole solder termination with identical insulation height and contact geometry
• Operating Environment: Both operate across -55°C to 125°C temperature range with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The substitution is based strictly on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-105) and series designation, confirming their functional interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-105-01-FM-S and SSW-105-01-F-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 supply chain requirements. The SSW-105-01-F-S currently maintains higher inventory levels at 1692 units compared to 853 units for the SSW-105-01-FM-S, making it suitable for applications requiring extended lead time assurance or higher volume procurement. Both parts meet identical regulatory and compliance requirements, including EAR99 export classification and UL94 V-0 flammability certification.
