SSW-130-21-FM-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-130-21-FM-D is a 60-position receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for board-to-board 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 985 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply constraints, packaging preferences, or specific application requirements where substitute connectors meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-130-21-FM-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• 60-position connector configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• 2-row layout with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Gold-plated mating contacts
• Black insulation housing
• Phosphor bronze contact material

The three substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in secondary parameters such as contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, operating temperature range, and flammability ratings are noted but do not preclude functional equivalence within the specified connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain active product status and meet the core mechanical and electrical requirements for 60-position, 0.100" pitch board-to-board connector applications.

3-534236-0 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II): This part provides full 60-position loading with gold mating contacts and push-pull fastening. The connector supports an extended lower operating temperature range (-65°C minimum) compared to the main part. RoHS compliance status is not applicable for this part. Insulation height tolerance is within 0.005" of the main part specification.

5-102766-4 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II): This part is ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated, matching the main part's compliance profile. However, only 52 of 60 positions are loaded, reducing the available contact count. This configuration may be suitable for applications requiring fewer signal paths. Insulation height is 0.320", approximately 0.015" lower than the main part.

PPPC302LFBN-RC (Sullins Connector Solutions): This header connector variant maintains full 60-position loading with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The current rating is specified at 3A per contact, lower than the main part's 4.7A rating. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, narrower than the main part. Voltage rating is specified at 250V.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3-534236-0 be used as a direct replacement for SSW-130-21-FM-D?

A: Yes, from a mechanical and electrical standpoint. Both connectors share identical 60-position, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening. The 3-534236-0 supports a lower minimum operating temperature (-65°C vs. -55°C). Verify RoHS compliance requirements for your application, as this part's RoHS status is not applicable.

Q: Why does 5-102766-4 have only 52 positions loaded instead of 60?

A: The 5-102766-4 is manufactured with 52 contact positions pre-installed in a 60-position housing. This configuration is suitable for applications requiring fewer signal connections. If your design requires all 60 positions, this part is not suitable without custom modification.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance during mating cycles. The main part specifies 3.00µin (0.076µm) mating contact finish. Substitute parts vary from flash plating to 30.0µin (0.76µm). Thicker finishes generally provide longer service life in high-cycle applications. Verify your application's mating cycle requirements before selection.

Q: Is PPPC302LFBN-RC compatible with SSW-130-21-FM-D?

A: The PPPC302LFBN-RC is a header connector, while the main part is a receptacle. These are complementary connector types designed to mate with each other. The PPPC302LFBN-RC cannot directly replace the SSW-130-21-FM-D in applications requiring a receptacle socket. However, it can serve as the mating header component in board-to-board assemblies.

Q: What packaging differences exist among these parts?

A: SSW-130-21-FM-D is supplied in bulk packaging (985 units in stock). 3-534236-0 and 5-102766-4 are supplied in tube packaging (1475 and 805 units respectively). PPPC302LFBN-RC is supplied in tray packaging (4651 units in stock). Packaging affects handling, storage, and ordering quantities but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: SSW-130-21-FM-D, 5-102766-4, and PPPC302LFBN-RC are ROHS3 compliant. 3-534236-0 has not applicable RoHS status. Verify your application's regulatory requirements before final part selection.

Q: What is the maximum current rating for each connector?

A: SSW-130-21-FM-D is rated at 4.7A per contact. PPPC302LFBN-RC is rated at 3A per contact. Current ratings are not specified for 3-534236-0 and 5-102766-4. For high-current applications, SSW-130-21-FM-D provides the highest specified rating.
