SSW-106-21-S-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-106-21-S-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 and tin-plated posts, operating across -55°C to 125°C with a current rating of 4.7A per contact. The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector series, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSW-106-21-S-P are identified within the SSW series based on strict equivalence of the following parameters:

• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Forked
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Contact finish - post: Tin
• Current rating: 4.7A per contact
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitutes maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in part numbering reflect differences in fastening mechanism or contact configuration within the same functional class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SSW-106-21-S-P, SSW-106-01-S-S, and SSW-106-01-SM-S—are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Each part maintains ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Selection between these parts depends on availability and specific fastening or contact configuration requirements within the SSW-106 series. All parts are suitable for equivalent circuit applications requiring 6-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors with gold mating contacts and tin-plated posts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-106-01-S-S and SSW-106-01-SM-S be used interchangeably with SSW-106-21-S-P?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, number of positions, pitch, contact materials, current rating, and operating temperature range. Substitution is valid from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: What determines substitutability for SSW series rectangular connectors?

A: Substitutability is determined by equivalence in the following parameters: number of positions, mating pitch, connector type (receptacle), contact type (forked), mounting method (through hole), contact finish specifications, current rating, operating temperature range, insulation material, and flammability rating.

Q: Are there inventory differences between these substitute parts?

A: Yes. SSW-106-21-S-P has 1067 pcs in stock, SSW-106-01-S-S has 2132 pcs, and SSW-106-01-SM-S has 701 pcs. Availability may influence part selection for procurement purposes.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers if they are electrically equivalent?

A: Part number variations within the SSW-106 series reflect differences in fastening mechanism or internal contact configuration. The suffix designations (21-S-P, 01-S-S, 01-SM-S) indicate these mechanical variations while maintaining functional equivalence for standard board-to-board or cable connection applications.
