• 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: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitute part SSW-121-02-G-D maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, differing only in internal designation within the SSW-121 base product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-121-22-G-D and SSW-121-02-G-D are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than functional differences. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The SSW-121-02-G-D currently has higher inventory availability at 1062 units compared to 921 units for the SSW-121-22-G-D, making it suitable for high-volume applications where supply continuity is a consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SSW-121-22-G-D and SSW-121-02-G-D electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 42-position receptacle connectors with identical electrical ratings of 4.7A per contact, operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, and gold-plated contact finishes. They are functionally equivalent for all electrical applications.

Q: Do these connectors have the same physical dimensions and mounting footprint?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row configuration with 0.100" row spacing, through-hole mounting, and 0.335" (8.51mm) insulation height. PCB layout and mounting hole patterns are identical.

Q: What is the difference between SSW-121-22-G-D and SSW-121-02-G-D?

A: The difference is limited to the internal designation within the SSW-121 base product family. All electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications are identical. The designation change does not affect form, fit, or function.
