SSW-108-01-L-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-108-01-L-P is an 8-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 and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same connector series, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-108-01-L-P has one identified substitute: SSW-108-01-L-S. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications that define substitution eligibility within the SSW series:

• Connector type, position count, and mating pitch are identical
• Contact finish specifications (gold mating, tin post) are identical
• Current rating and operating temperature range are identical
• Material flammability and RoHS compliance are identical
• Insulation material, contact shape, and contact material are identical
• Mounting method and termination approach are identical

The substitution is valid based on these matching parameters. The parts differ only in packaging designation (L-P versus L-S), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance in the application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-108-01-L-P and SSW-108-01-L-S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and packaging requirements specific to procurement workflows. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and are suitable for applications requiring 4.7A per contact at operating temperatures between -55°C and 125°C. No performance differentiation exists between the two parts for circuit design purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-108-01-L-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-108-01-L-P?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same connector type, position count, mating pitch, contact finish specifications, current rating, operating temperature range, and material certifications. The difference in part number designation reflects packaging variation only.

Q: What parameters determine if a part can substitute for the SSW-108-01-L-P?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (8), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting method (through hole), contact finish specifications (gold mating at 10.0µin thickness, tin post), current rating (4.7A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), insulation material (LCP), contact material (phosphor bronze), and compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, ROHS3).

Q: Are there inventory differences between SSW-108-01-L-P and SSW-108-01-L-S?

A: Yes. SSW-108-01-L-P has 1106 pieces in stock, while SSW-108-01-L-S has 723 pieces in stock. Availability may influence procurement decisions, but both parts are currently available.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or installation considerations?

A: Both parts use identical through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening. Installation procedures and PCB layout requirements are identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the base product number for these connectors?

A: The base product number is SSW-108, which identifies the 8-position connector platform within the SSW series. Both SSW-108-01-L-P and SSW-108-01-L-S are variants of this base product.
