Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-106-01-F-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSW-106-21-F-S based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both are 6-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Electrical Characteristics: Matching current rating (4.7A per contact) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Contact & Termination: Identical gold-plated mating contact finish, solder termination, and push-pull fastening mechanism
• Mechanical Specifications: Same through-hole mounting, insulation height (0.335" / 8.51mm), and contact length
• Compliance: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance
• Series Designation: Both belong to the SSW series with base product number SSW-106

Substitution is valid when the application requirements do not exceed the specified electrical and mechanical limits of either part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-106-21-F-S and SSW-106-01-F-S are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The SSW-106-01-F-S maintains higher stock levels (3,566 units) compared to the SSW-106-21-F-S (1,002 units), making it a viable alternative for applications requiring extended lead time assurance. Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 6-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole receptacle applications with 4.7A per contact current capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-106-01-F-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-106-21-F-S?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 6-position configuration, 0.100" pitch spacing, 4.7A current rating, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. They are functionally interchangeable in circuit designs.

Q: Are there differences in contact plating between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold-plated mating contacts with 3.00µin (0.076µm) thickness and tin-plated posts for solder termination.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes (-21-F-S vs -01-F-S)?

A: The suffix variation indicates different manufacturing batches or internal Samtec designations within the SSW-106 series. The electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent across both part numbers.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSW-106-21-F-S and SSW-106-01-F-S are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on inventory availability and supply chain strategy. The SSW-106-01-F-S offers higher stock availability (3,566 units), while the SSW-106-21-F-S maintains 1,002 units. Both are active production parts suitable for new designs.
