Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SSW-120-22-F-S qualifies as a direct substitute for the SSW-120-02-F-S based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors share the same base product number (SSW-120) and maintain equivalence across all critical substitution criteria:

• Connector type, contact configuration, and contact geometry (forked, square shape)
• Electrical specifications: 20 positions, 0.100" pitch, 4.7A per contact rating
• Physical mounting: through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Contact materials and finishes: phosphor bronze with gold mating surface and tin post finish
• Environmental compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Insulation material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)

The substitution is valid for applications requiring identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and environmental specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-120-02-F-S and SSW-120-22-F-S are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements, as they are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both connectors meet the same environmental and regulatory standards, making either suitable for applications requiring 20-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connectors with gold mating contacts and tin-plated posts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSW-120-02-F-S and SSW-120-22-F-S fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically equivalent, sharing identical specifications for position count, pitch, contact materials, finishes, current rating, and operating temperature range. They can be substituted without design modification.

Q: What determines substitution validity for these connectors?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (20), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting method (through-hole), contact type (forked), contact finishes (gold mating/tin post), current rating (4.7A per contact), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SSW-120-02-F-S and SSW-120-22-F-S are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. They are classified under the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

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

A: The provided specifications indicate no functional or electrical differences between SSW-120-02-F-S and SSW-120-22-F-S. Both are part of the SSW series base product (SSW-120) and maintain identical performance characteristics.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both connectors are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative components.
