SSW-117-01-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-117-01-S-D is a 34-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 gold-plated mating contacts, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 944 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and contact finish specifications. Alternative sources ensure supply continuity and may offer different packaging or inventory availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-117-01-S-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
• Position Count: Must be 34 positions
• Pitch Specification: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting Configuration: Must be Through Hole with Solder termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Must be Push-Pull
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold-plated mating surface
• Flammability Compliance: Must meet UL94 V-0 rating

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 6-534206-7 satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. Both connectors maintain identical position count, pitch, mounting type, termination method, fastening type, and flammability rating. Both feature gold-plated mating contacts and are rated for through-hole PCB assembly.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 6-534206-7 be used as a direct replacement for SSW-117-01-S-D?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count (34), pitch spacing (0.100"), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), mating contact finish (gold), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Physical dimensions and contact specifications differ slightly; verify fit within your specific PCB layout and mating connector requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are insulation material composition (LCP versus polyester glass-filled), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -65°C to 125°C), insulation height (0.335" versus 0.320"), contact post length (0.104" versus 0.115"), and current rating per contact (4.7A versus 2A). Packaging format also differs (Bulk versus Tube).

Q: Which connector should I select for high-current applications?

A: The SSW-117-01-S-D is rated for 4.7A per contact, compared to 2A per contact for the 6-534206-7. For applications requiring higher current capacity, the SSW-117-01-S-D is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The SSW-117-01-S-D is ROHS3 Compliant, and the 6-534206-7 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The SSW-117-01-S-D is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 6-534206-7 is supplied in Tube packaging. Bulk packaging typically offers cost advantages for high-volume orders, while tube packaging provides organized component handling for smaller quantities.

Q: Do these connectors have different temperature ratings?

A: Yes. The SSW-117-01-S-D operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the 6-534206-7 operates from -65°C to 125°C. The TE Connectivity part supports a lower minimum operating temperature by 10°C.
