Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-112-01-S-S is determined by the following core parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle (all substitutes match)
• Number of Positions: 12 (all substitutes match)
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (all substitutes match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (all substitutes match)
• Termination: Solder (all substitutes match)
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull (all substitutes match)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (all substitutes match)
• Contact Finish Thickness - Mating: 30.0µin (0.76µm) (all substitutes match)
• Insulation Color: Black (all substitutes match)

All three substitute parts (1-534237-0, 6-534237-0, and 929850-01-12-RB) satisfy these core electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. Variations in secondary parameters such as contact type geometry, insulation material composition, current rating, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications do not prevent functional substitution but may influence selection based on specific application constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (6-534237-0): This TE Connectivity part maintains RoHS3 compliance alignment with the main part, ensuring regulatory consistency for applications subject to RoHS requirements. It offers the highest inventory availability (3378 units) and matches all core electrical and mechanical parameters. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating is documented.

Secondary Selection (929850-01-12-RB): The 3M connector provides RoHS compliance and maintains forked contact geometry identical to the main part. Operating temperature range is reduced to -40°C ~ 105°C, which may limit use in extreme cold environments. Current rating is 2A per contact, lower than the main part's 4.7A specification. Voltage rating of 1500V is specified for this part.

Tertiary Selection (1-534237-0): This TE Connectivity part is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when RoHS compliance is not a design requirement. It offers the lowest inventory level (933 units) among the substitutes.

All three substitutes are active products with documented stock availability. Selection should prioritize compliance certifications and operating parameter ranges required by the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-534237-0 be used as a direct replacement for SSW-112-01-S-S?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, 1-534237-0 is RoHS non-compliant while SSW-112-01-S-S is ROHS3 compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use 6-534237-0 instead.

Q: What is the difference between the two TE Connectivity options (1-534237-0 and 6-534237-0)?

A: Both are AMPMODU Mod IV series connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: 1-534237-0 is non-compliant, while 6-534237-0 is compliant. Additionally, 6-534237-0 has documented UL94 V-0 flammability rating and higher inventory availability.

Q: Does the 929850-01-12-RB have any limitations compared to the main part?

A: The 929850-01-12-RB has a reduced operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C) and lower current rating per contact (2A versus 4.7A). Applications requiring the full temperature range or higher current capacity should use the main part or TE Connectivity substitutes.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. SSW-112-01-S-S and 929850-01-12-RB are supplied in bulk packaging, while both TE Connectivity options (1-534237-0 and 6-534237-0) are supplied in tube packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and ordering quantities.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness specification?

A: The mating contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm) is identical across all parts, ensuring equivalent electrical contact resistance and durability. Post contact finish thickness varies, but this does not affect mating performance.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, provided the PCB footprint accommodates the dimensional variations in insulation height and contact length. SSW-112-01-S-S has an insulation height of 0.335" (8.51mm), while TE Connectivity parts are 0.340" (8.64mm) and 3M is 0.325" (8.25mm). Contact length post dimensions also vary slightly. PCB layout verification is necessary before substitution.
