SSW-130-01-S-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-130-01-S-S is a 30-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch through-hole mounting. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, forked contact geometry, and push-pull fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1096 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 becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit alternative contact configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SSW-130-01-S-S are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or remain compatible:

• Connector Type: Receptacle configuration required
• Number of Positions: 30 positions mandatory
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) required for mechanical mating compatibility
• Mounting Type: Through hole solder termination required
• Fastening Type: Push-pull mechanism required
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold plating required
• Insulation Color: Black required
• Style: Board to board or cable application compatibility required

The identified substitutes (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-534237-8 and 7-534237-8) meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in contact type (forked vs. female socket), insulation material composition, contact post finish, and current rating specifications are secondary parameters that do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the primary part is unavailable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SSW-130-01-S-S (Primary Part): This connector maintains active production status with ROHS3 compliance and represents the original specification. The forked contact geometry and Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material provide the specified electrical and mechanical performance. Current rating of 4.7A per contact supports higher-current applications. This part is recommended when design specifications explicitly require forked contact geometry or when RoHS3 compliance is mandatory.

7-534237-8 (Preferred Substitute): This TE Connectivity connector achieves full RoHS compliance with UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. The female socket contact type provides equivalent mating functionality with the same 0.100" pitch and 30-position configuration. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C, providing broader environmental coverage. This part is recommended as the primary substitute when the original part becomes unavailable, particularly in applications where RoHS compliance is required.

2-534237-8 (Secondary Substitute): This TE Connectivity connector provides mechanical and electrical compatibility but carries RoHS non-compliant status and Tin-Lead contact finish on the post. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C. This part is suitable only for applications where RoHS compliance is not required and where the lower current rating of 2A per contact meets design specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-534237-8 and 7-534237-8 be used interchangeably with SSW-130-01-S-S?

A: Both TE Connectivity parts meet the core mechanical and electrical substitution criteria: 30-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts. However, 7-534237-8 is preferred due to RoHS compliance. The 2-534237-8 variant is suitable only when RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for the application.

Q: What are the key differences between the contact types?

A: The SSW-130-01-S-S uses forked contacts, while both TE Connectivity substitutes use female socket contacts. Both contact geometries are compatible with standard 0.100" pitch male pins and provide equivalent electrical performance for mating applications.

Q: Are there current rating limitations when substituting?

A: The SSW-130-01-S-S is rated at 4.7A per contact, while both TE Connectivity substitutes are rated at 2A per contact. Applications requiring current levels above 2A per contact must retain the original SSW-130-01-S-S specification.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The SSW-130-01-S-S is supplied in bulk packaging, while both TE Connectivity substitutes are supplied in tube packaging. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, 7-534237-8 is the appropriate selection. This part maintains active production status, provides extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C), and meets current regulatory requirements.
