Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-108-22-S-D-RA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with 16 positions
  • Pitch & Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
  • Mounting Configuration: Through-hole, right-angle mounting
  • Contact Specifications: Forked contact type with gold mating finish (30.0µin thickness)
  • Electrical Performance: 4.7A per contact current rating
  • Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance
  • Operating Range: -55°C ~ 125°C temperature specification
  • Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)

The substitute part SSW-108-02-S-D-RA meets all these critical parameters, confirming functional and mechanical interchangeability within the SSW series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-108-22-S-D-RA and SSW-108-02-S-D-RA are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Both connectors maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on component availability and procurement lead times, as they are functionally equivalent for all specified applications. No performance degradation or compatibility issues result from substitution when all parameters align as documented in the comparison table.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications across all critical parameters: 16-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, right-angle through-hole mounting, gold-plated forked contacts, 4.7A current rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish or plating between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature gold mating contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and tin post finish. Contact material, shape, and specifications are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSW-108-22-S-D-RA and SSW-108-02-S-D-RA are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Environmental and regulatory compliance is equivalent.

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

A: The part numbers reflect internal Samtec designation variations within the SSW series. The numeric differences (22 vs. 02) do not indicate functional or electrical differences when all other parameters match. Both are active products suitable for equivalent applications.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are available in bulk packaging with active inventory status. Procurement decisions should be based on current availability and lead time requirements from your supplier.
