SSW-116-21-L-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-116-21-L-D is a 32-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features through-hole solder termination, gold-plated mating contacts, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 612 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, lead time considerations, or design flexibility within the SSW series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the SSW series are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc.
• Series designation: SSW
• Connector type: Receptacle
• Position count: 32
• Mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row configuration: 2 rows
• Mounting method: Through hole
• Termination type: Solder
• Mating contact finish: Gold
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Current rating: 4.7A per contact
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Variations in packaging designation or internal part numbering within the SSW-116 base product family do not affect functional compatibility when these parameters remain aligned.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-116-21-L-D and SSW-116-01-L-D are active production parts manufactured by Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance. The SSW-116-01-L-D offers higher inventory availability at 1133 units compared to 612 units for the main part number. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement lead time requirements and inventory allocation. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 32-position, 0.100" pitch board-to-board or cable connector applications with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-116-01-L-D be used as a direct replacement for SSW-116-21-L-D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, termination type, contact finish, fastening mechanism, operating temperature range, and current rating. The difference in part number designation reflects packaging or internal configuration variations that do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution within the SSW series?

A: Critical parameters include 32-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole mounting, solder termination, gold mating contact finish, push-pull fastening, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Variations in these parameters disqualify parts from substitution.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status and are manufactured to the same Samtec specifications. No additional testing or verification is required when substituting between these part numbers.

Q: How does packaging designation affect part selection?

A: Packaging designation differences between SSW-116-21-L-D and SSW-116-01-L-D do not impact connector performance or compatibility. Selection should be based on inventory availability and procurement timelines.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 4.7A per contact, supporting applications requiring this current capacity across all 32 positions.
