Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-108-01-S-S-LL has one identified substitute: SSW-108-01-SM-S-LL. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-108) and are classified within the same series. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (8)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Contact type (Forked)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Mating contact finish (Gold)
• Current rating (4.7A per Contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The substitute part maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part across all specified parameters.

The SSW-108-01-S-S-LL currently has 954 units in stock, while the SSW-108-01-SM-S-LL has 719 units available. Either part may be selected for new designs or as a replacement in existing applications without modification to PCB layouts or mating connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact finish, current rating, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The parts differ only in their internal designation codes (S-S-LL versus SM-S-LL). All specified parameters, including contact configuration, termination method, and performance ratings, are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SSW-108-01-S-S-LL and SSW-108-01-SM-S-LL are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 4.7A per contact, supporting applications requiring moderate current distribution across the 8-position connector.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial and automotive applications within this thermal envelope.

Q: What mounting method do these connectors use?

A: Both parts use through-hole mounting with kinked pin solder termination, designed for direct PCB integration.
