Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-118-01-G-P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 18
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Forked
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Current Rating: 4.7A per Contact
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The SSW-118-01-G-S qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Both parts belong to the SSW series and maintain functional equivalence for circuit board integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
