Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SSW-117-21-G-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (17)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Contact type (Forked)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Current rating (4.7A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

The SSW-117-01-G-S meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent within the SSW series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-117-21-G-S and SSW-117-01-G-S are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
