SSW-106-01-F-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-106-01-F-P is a 6-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, tin-plated posts, and is rated for 4.7A per contact with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or procurement preferences necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-106-01-F-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with exactly 6 positions
• Pitch & Mounting: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with through-hole termination
• Contact Specifications: Forked contact type with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Electrical Performance: 4.7A per contact current rating and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• Material & Compliance: Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and ROHS3 compliance

The SSW-106-01-F-P shares the same base product number (SSW-106) and series designation with its identified substitute. Substitutes must maintain identical mechanical dimensions, contact geometry, and electrical ratings to ensure direct interchangeability in circuit board assembly and mating applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-106-01-F-P and SSW-106-01-F-S are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Inventory Availability: The SSW-106-01-F-S maintains higher stock levels (3566 units) compared to the SSW-106-01-F-P (1050 units), making it suitable for high-volume procurement or applications with extended lead time requirements.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability standards, ensuring suitability for regulated applications and environments requiring flame-resistant materials.

Moisture Sensitivity: The SSW-106-01-F-S is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling. The SSW-106-01-F-P carries MSL Not Applicable designation. This distinction does not affect functional compatibility but may influence logistics and storage protocols.

REACH Status: The SSW-106-01-F-S is explicitly marked REACH Unaffected, confirming compliance with European chemical regulations.

Both parts are direct substitutes with no functional or dimensional differences. Selection may be driven by procurement lead times, inventory cycles, or supply chain preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-106-01-F-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-106-01-F-P in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact specifications, current rating, and operating temperature range. No circuit board redesign or connector mating interface modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The SSW-106-01-F-P and SSW-106-01-F-S are variants within the same SSW-106 base product family. They differ only in packaging designation (P vs. S suffix) and associated inventory/moisture sensitivity classifications. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching between these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts feature the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, forked contact geometry, gold mating finish, and tin post finish. Mating connectors and circuit board layouts designed for one part will function identically with the other.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on current inventory availability and procurement lead times. Both parts are active production items with full compliance certifications. The SSW-106-01-F-S offers higher stock availability, making it suitable for designs with flexible sourcing requirements.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage conditions?

A: The SSW-106-01-F-S is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. Standard component storage at controlled room temperature is appropriate for both parts. No special desiccant packaging or humidity-controlled storage is mandated.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: These 6-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors are designed for board-to-board and cable interconnect applications requiring 4.7A per contact capacity and operating temperatures between -55°C and 125°C. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance make them suitable for industrial, consumer electronics, and regulated applications.
