SSW-132-06-S-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-132-06-S-D is a 64-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 833 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 inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-132-06-S-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both the main part and substitute must be 64-position receptacle connectors
• Pitch & Row Configuration: Mating pitch of 0.100" (2.54mm) with 2-row layout and 0.100" row spacing is mandatory
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening must be maintained
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating contacts are required
• Insulation Color: Black insulation is specified
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance is required

The substitute part 3-534206-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors AMPMODU Mod II series) meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position counts, pitch specifications, mounting methods, and fastening mechanisms. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and gold-plated mating contacts suitable for equivalent electrical performance in board-to-board and cable applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SSW-132-06-S-D and 3-534206-2 are active products with ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for current applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following considerations derived from provided specifications:

SSW-132-06-S-D (Samtec) is the primary choice when higher current capacity per contact (4.7A) is required. The LCP insulation material provides superior dimensional stability and thermal performance. Tin contact finish on posts offers compatibility with standard solder processes.

3-534206-2 (TE Connectivity) serves as a substitute when the SSW-132-06-S-D is unavailable. This part provides wider operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 125°C) and is available in higher inventory (1033 units). The Tin-Lead post finish is compatible with legacy solder processes. Note that the current rating of 2A per contact is lower than the primary part; applications requiring higher current density should verify compatibility with actual circuit requirements.

Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, and push-pull fastening, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility at the connector interface level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3-534206-2 be used as a direct replacement for SSW-132-06-S-D in all applications?

A: Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (64), row configuration (2 rows), and fastening type (push-pull). Mechanical compatibility is assured. However, verify that the 2A per-contact current rating of the substitute meets your circuit requirements, as the primary part is rated at 4.7A per contact.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: Insulation height differs by 0.015" (0.38mm), with the SSW-132-06-S-D at 0.335" and the 3-534206-2 at 0.320". Contact post length also varies: 0.124" (3.15mm) versus 0.115" (2.92mm). These variations may affect PCB layout and mating connector clearances; verify against your specific board design.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences?

A: Yes. The 3-534206-2 operates across -65°C to 125°C, providing a 10°C lower minimum temperature rating compared to the SSW-132-06-S-D (-55°C to 125°C). Both reach the same maximum operating temperature of 125°C.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material?

A: The SSW-132-06-S-D uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while the 3-534206-2 uses Polyester with glass filling. LCP provides superior dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption. Polyester with glass filling is a proven alternative material suitable for standard applications.

Q: Do both parts have the same contact finish specifications?

A: Mating contact finish is identical: 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on both parts. Post contact finish differs: the SSW-132-06-S-D uses Tin, while the 3-534206-2 uses Tin-Lead. Both are compatible with standard solder assembly processes.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The SSW-132-06-S-D is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the 3-534206-2 is supplied in Tube packaging. Select based on your procurement and assembly workflow requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the SSW-132-06-S-D and 3-534206-2 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
