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

Part Overview

The SSW-118-22-SM-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 through-hole solder termination, gold-plated mating contacts, and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 724 units in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when design revisions require alternative packaging configurations, or when supply chain optimization requires component consolidation across similar product lines.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-118-22-SM-D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (36)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Current rating (4.7A per Contact)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes within the SSW series product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSW-118-02-S-D meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria for the SSW-118-22-SM-D. Both parts share identical connector specifications, contact ratings, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, EAR99).

The primary distinction is product status: the SSW-118-22-SM-D is currently active in production, while the SSW-118-02-S-D is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the active SSW-118-22-SM-D is the preferred selection. The SSW-118-02-S-D remains a valid substitute for existing inventory applications or where legacy stock availability is acceptable.

Both parts carry MSL ratings appropriate to their respective packaging configurations and maintain full compliance with RoHS3 and export control requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are 36-position receptacle connectors with identical pitch spacing (0.100"), row configuration, contact ratings (4.7A per contact), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). They share the same contact material, finish specifications, and flammability rating.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The SSW-118-22-SM-D is active in production, while the SSW-118-02-S-D is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent within the SSW-118 series.

Q: Can I use SSW-118-02-S-D in a new design?

A: The SSW-118-02-S-D meets all technical specifications for new applications. However, since it is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, long-term supply availability may be limited. For production designs with extended lifecycle requirements, the active SSW-118-22-SM-D is recommended.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Compliance status is equivalent.

Q: What does the packaging designation mean in the part number?

A: The SSW-118 series uses different packaging codes. The "-22-SM-D" and "-02-S-D" designations indicate different packaging configurations within the same connector family. Both support through-hole solder termination and are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.
