Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-106-21-L-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Must be a 6-position receptacle
• Pitch & Mounting: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with through-hole termination
• Contact Specifications: Gold mating finish, tin post finish, 4.7A per contact rating
• Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature -55°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability, ROHS3 compliance
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze with square contact shape

The SSW-106-01-L-S meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent within the SSW series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-106-21-L-S and SSW-106-01-L-S are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: SSW-106-01-L-S has 986 pcs in stock versus 921 pcs for SSW-106-21-L-S
• Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification
• Supply Chain Continuity: Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-106) and series designation, ensuring long-term availability within the SSW connector family

No performance or reliability differences exist between these parts. Selection is based on procurement and inventory considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are 6-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch (0.100"), contact ratings (4.7A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and material specifications. They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or plating thickness?

A: No. Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts at 10.0µin (0.25µm) thickness and tin-plated posts. Contact material, shape, and current-carrying capacity are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSW-106-21-L-S and SSW-106-01-L-S are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. They are suitable for equivalent applications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this connector family?

A: Substitution is based on matching connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact finish specifications, current rating, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. All these parameters must align for parts to be considered equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging or handling differences?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No special handling differences apply between the two parts.
