SSW-116-01-G-P-LL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-116-01-G-P-LL is a 16-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This connector features gold-plated forked contacts with kinked pin solder termination and operates across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range. The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring reliable rectangular connector solutions in standard pitch configurations.

Substitute parts are necessary when addressing inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the defined parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-116-01-G-P-LL is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 16
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Number of rows: 1
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Fastening type: Push-Pull

The identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional interchangeability in standard board-to-board connector applications. Variations in contact type, insulation material, contact shape, and current rating specifications are secondary parameters that may influence selection based on specific application requirements but do not preclude substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for applications requiring regulatory adherence and long-term supply availability.

SSW-116-01-G-S-LL (Samtec Inc.): This substitute shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part, including contact type, material composition, current rating, and insulation geometry. Selection of this variant is appropriate when inventory or lead time constraints affect SSW-116-01-G-P-LL availability, as it presents no functional differentiation.

310-13-116-41-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.): This substitute meets all primary compatibility criteria but incorporates design differences in contact type (female socket versus forked), contact shape (circular versus square), contact material (beryllium copper versus phosphor bronze), and current rating (3A versus 4.7A per contact). The higher mating contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 20.0µin) provides enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications. Selection of this part is appropriate when application requirements align with its specified current and voltage ratings, and when cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-116-01-G-S-LL be used as a direct replacement for SSW-116-01-G-P-LL?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the same SSW series and share identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, contact finish, operating temperature range, flammability rating, and current rating. The parts are functionally equivalent for board-to-board connector applications.

Q: What are the key differences between the Samtec SSW-116-01-G-P-LL and the Mill-Max 310-13-116-41-001000?

A: The primary differences are contact type (forked versus female socket), contact shape (square versus circular), contact material (phosphor bronze versus beryllium copper), and current rating per contact (4.7A versus 3A). The Mill-Max part also specifies voltage ratings (100V, 150VDC) not provided for the Samtec part. Both maintain the same 16-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole configuration and gold-plated mating contacts.

Q: Is the Mill-Max 310-13-116-41-001000 suitable for high-current applications?

A: The Mill-Max part is rated for 3A per contact, which is lower than the Samtec SSW-116-01-G-P-LL rating of 4.7A per contact. Application requirements exceeding 3A per contact should use the Samtec variants to ensure adequate current-carrying capacity.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring regulatory adherence to RoHS directives.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact finish thicknesses?

A: The Mill-Max 310-13-116-41-001000 features 30.0µin (0.76µm) mating contact finish thickness compared to 20.0µin (0.51µm) for the Samtec parts. Thicker gold plating generally provides enhanced resistance to wear and corrosion in high-cycle mating environments, though both thicknesses meet standard connector durability requirements.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same application?

A: Intermixing is not recommended. While all three parts meet the core 16-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle specifications, differences in contact type, shape, and material composition may result in inconsistent mating characteristics and contact resistance across the connector population. Standardization on a single part number is the preferred engineering practice.
