SSW-118-22-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-118-22-S-D is a 36-position rectangular 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 1140 units in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits selection from compatible connector variants within the same series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-118-22-S-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 36
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Current Rating: 4.7A per Contact
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes within the SSW series. Variations in product status, inventory availability, or compliance certifications do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSW-118-02-S-D is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the SSW-118-22-S-D. Both parts share identical connector specifications, contact ratings, operating temperature ranges, and material certifications.

The primary distinction is product status: the SSW-118-22-S-D maintains active production status with higher current inventory levels, while the SSW-118-02-S-D is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 classification.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements. The SSW-118-22-S-D is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production due to active status. The SSW-118-02-S-D remains a valid substitute when the primary part is unavailable, provided existing inventory can be sourced through alternative distribution channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSW-118-22-S-D and SSW-118-02-S-D mechanically interchangeable?
