SSW-129-01-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-129-01-S-D is a 58-position 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 885 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or procurement constraints exist.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-129-01-S-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Receptacle configuration with 58 positions
• Pitch & Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing for mechanical compatibility
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination for PCB integration
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type for mating interface consistency
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness specification
• Insulation Material & Color: Black insulation for visual identification and material compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification

The substitute part 2-534206-9 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets these core substitution criteria, enabling functional equivalence in applications requiring a 58-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connector with gold mating contacts and through-hole solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-129-01-S-D and 2-534206-9 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

SSW-129-01-S-D (Samtec): Primary selection when Samtec supply chain is preferred or when the UL94 V-0 flammability rating is a specific design requirement. Current inventory of 885 units supports immediate availability.

2-534206-9 (TE Connectivity): Suitable alternative when TE Connectivity supply chain is preferred or when extended lower operating temperature range (-65°C vs. -55°C) is required. Current inventory of 1092 units provides alternative sourcing. Note that current rating differs (2A vs. 4.7A per contact), requiring circuit-level verification for applications with high current demands.

Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical mating interfaces, supporting direct substitution in board-to-board and cable connector applications with 0.100" pitch spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-534206-9 directly replace SSW-129-01-S-D in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications within the overlapping operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and where the current rating of 2A per contact is sufficient. The mechanical mating interface, pitch spacing, and contact configuration are identical. Designs requiring the full 4.7A per contact rating of the Samtec part require verification that the TE part meets current requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Insulation material (Samtec uses Liquid Crystal Polymer; TE uses Polyester, Glass Filled), (2) Contact finish on posts (Samtec uses Tin; TE uses Tin-Lead), (3) Current rating per contact (Samtec 4.7A; TE 2A), (4) Operating temperature lower limit (Samtec -55°C; TE -65°C), and (5) Insulation height (Samtec 0.335"; TE 0.320"). All other critical parameters align.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. SSW-129-01-S-D is supplied in Bulk packaging, while 2-534206-9 is supplied in Tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and classified as EAR99. The Samtec part carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification; the TE part does not specify a flammability rating in the provided data.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supply chain preference, current requirements, and temperature range needs. For applications requiring 4.7A per contact or UL94 V-0 certification, use SSW-129-01-S-D. For applications requiring extended low-temperature operation (-65°C) and where 2A per contact is sufficient, 2-534206-9 is suitable.
