SSW-108-22-F-S-RA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-108-22-F-S-RA is an 8-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This through-hole, right-angle mounted connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, rated for 4.7A per contact with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The connector is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable interconnection in compact form factors.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, inventory optimization, or when design flexibility permits component standardization within the same connector family.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-108-22-F-S-RA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Position Count: Both parts must be 8-position receptacles within the SSW series
  • Pitch & Mounting: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with through-hole, right-angle mounting
  • Contact Configuration: Forked contact type with gold mating finish and tin post finish
  • Electrical Performance: 4.7A per contact current rating
  • Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance

The SSW-108-02-F-S-RA meets all these criteria, differing only in internal design variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the SSW-108 base product family.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-108-22-F-S-RA and SSW-108-02-F-S-RA are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

  • Inventory Availability: Current stock levels (722 pcs for SSW-108-22-F-S-RA; 719 pcs for SSW-108-02-F-S-RA) may influence procurement decisions
  • Supply Chain Continuity: Both parts share the same base product number (SSW-108) and maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications
  • Design Validation: No re-qualification is required when substituting between these parts, as all critical parameters remain constant

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSW-108-22-F-S-RA and SSW-108-02-F-S-RA electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications including 4.7A per contact current rating, gold mating contact finish, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Do these connectors have the same mechanical footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 8-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole, right-angle mounting with identical insulation height (0.095") and contact length specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and classified under the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) codes.

Q: Can I substitute SSW-108-02-F-S-RA for SSW-108-22-F-S-RA in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are functionally equivalent within the SSW-108 connector family and require no design modifications or re-validation.

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

A: The difference lies in internal design variations within the SSW-108 base product family. These variations do not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or environmental ratings.
