SSW-105-01-G-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-105-01-G-S is a 5-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and is classified as Active product status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-105-01-G-S is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

  • Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
  • Number of Positions: Must be 5
  • Pitch - Mating: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
  • Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
  • Termination: Must be Solder
  • Fastening Type: Must be Push-Pull
  • Contact Finish - Mating: Must be Gold
  • Insulation Color: Must be Black
  • Contact Material: Must be Phosphor Bronze

The substitute parts identified (5-534237-3 and 534237-3) satisfy all mandatory substitution criteria. Both are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the AMPMODU Mod IV series. Variations in secondary parameters such as contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, and post contact finish do not preclude substitution when primary electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain Active product status and satisfy core mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements. The selection between SSW-105-01-G-S and its substitutes depends on specific application constraints:

5-534237-3 is suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and operates across an extended temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). This part carries RoHS Compliant certification and is packaged in tube format.

534237-3 is functionally equivalent but carries RoHS non-compliant status, making it unsuitable for applications with mandatory RoHS requirements. This part is also tube-packaged and operates across the same extended temperature range as 5-534237-3.

The SSW-105-01-G-S original part provides ROHS3 Compliant status and higher current rating (4.7A per contact versus 2A for substitutes), with bulk packaging. Selection should prioritize regulatory compliance requirements and current capacity demands of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-105-01-G-S be directly replaced with 5-534237-3 or 534237-3?

A: Yes, both TE Connectivity parts satisfy the core substitution criteria: 5-position receptacle, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through alignment of these parameters.

Q: What are the differences in current rating between the main part and substitutes?

A: The SSW-105-01-G-S is rated at 4.7A per contact, while both 5-534237-3 and 534237-3 are rated at 2A per contact. Applications requiring current levels above 2A per contact must retain the original SSW-105-01-G-S specification.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 5-534237-3 is RoHS Compliant, while 534237-3 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use either the original SSW-105-01-G-S (ROHS3 Compliant) or the 5-534237-3 (RoHS Compliant).

Q: How do insulation materials differ between parts?

A: The SSW-105-01-G-S uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while both TE Connectivity substitutes use Polyester, Glass Filled insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements where specified.

Q: What is the temperature operating range for each part?

A: The SSW-105-01-G-S operates from -55°C to 125°C. Both substitute parts (5-534237-3 and 534237-3) operate from -65°C to 125°C, providing extended low-temperature capability.

Q: Do packaging differences affect substitution?

A: The SSW-105-01-G-S is supplied in bulk packaging, while both TE Connectivity substitutes are tube-packaged. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence procurement and handling procedures.
