Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-106-02-FM-D has one identified substitute part: SSW-106-02-F-D. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact type (Forked)
• Contact finish - mating surface (Gold)
• Current rating (4.7A per Contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part SSW-106-02-F-D meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the primary part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
