Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 75915-305LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Both are receptacle connectors
• Position Count: Both feature 5 positions
• Pitch Spacing: Both use 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Both are through-hole mounted with solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Both employ push-pull fastening
• Contact Finish: Both have gold-plated mating contacts at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Insulation Height: Both maintain 0.335" (8.51mm) height
• Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0 standard
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both are MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part maintains functional and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-105-02-S-S and 75915-305LF meet the core functional requirements for 5-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors with gold-plated contacts and push-pull fastening. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and MSL 1. The SSW-105-02-S-S carries ROHS3 compliance, while the 75915-305LF carries RoHS compliance. Both are suitable for applications requiring these certifications.

Product Status: Both connectors are active production parts with adequate inventory availability.

Mechanical Considerations: The contact post length differs between the two parts (0.194" vs. 0.114"), which may affect PCB design and mating depth. The insulation material differs (LCP vs. thermoplastic glass-filled), which may influence thermal and mechanical performance in specific environments.

Packaging: The SSW-105-02-S-S is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 75915-305LF is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 75915-305LF directly replace the SSW-105-02-S-S in existing designs?

A: Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (5), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), fastening type (push-pull), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). However, the contact post length differs (0.194" vs. 0.114"), which may require PCB layout verification. Mechanical fit and mating depth should be confirmed before implementation.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (5), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting method (through-hole), termination type (solder), fastening mechanism (push-pull), contact finish (gold), contact finish thickness (30.0µin), insulation height (0.335"), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these connectors?

A: Yes. The SSW-105-02-S-S uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while the 75915-305LF uses thermoplastic with glass filler. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements, but material selection may affect performance in specific thermal or chemical environments.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The SSW-105-02-S-S is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 75915-305LF is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging choice affects handling, storage, and assembly line integration but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The SSW-105-02-S-S is ROHS3 compliant, and the 75915-305LF is RoHS compliant. Both meet lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions for their respective compliance standards.

Q: What is the current rating for each connector?

A: The SSW-105-02-S-S is rated for 4.7A per contact. The current rating for the 75915-305LF is not specified in the provided data. Applications requiring specific current ratings should reference the 75915-305LF datasheet or contact the manufacturer for confirmation.
