Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-108-22-F-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSW-108-02-F-S based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-108) and are differentiated only by internal design variants that do not affect functional compatibility. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• 8-position receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Forked contact type with gold plating
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• 4.7A per contact current rating
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-108-02-F-S and SSW-108-22-F-S are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The SSW-108-22-F-S currently has higher inventory (1129 units) compared to the SSW-108-02-F-S (1028 units), making it a viable alternative for applications requiring immediate availability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring regulatory compliance across industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-108-22-F-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-108-02-F-S?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent 8-position receptacle connectors with identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, contact configurations, and material specifications. They are interchangeable in applications designed for either part number.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for these connectors?

A: Compatibility is determined by the 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 8-position receptacle configuration, forked contact design, and through-hole solder termination. Any connector meeting these specifications will interface correctly with mating plugs designed for the SSW series.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or handling between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No differences in moisture sensitivity level (MSL) or handling requirements exist between the two part numbers.

Q: What is the maximum current capacity per contact?

A: Both connectors are rated for 4.7A per contact, supporting applications requiring moderate current distribution across multiple signal or power lines.

Q: Do these connectors meet environmental compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting requirements for industrial, commercial, and consumer applications with environmental and safety compliance mandates.
