SSW-132-21-F-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-132-21-F-T is a 96-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 through-hole solder termination, gold-plated mating contacts, and tin-plated posts. The product maintains Active status with 694 units in current inventory.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization, or when design flexibility permits component interchange within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SSW-132-21-F-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Position count (96 positions)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (3 rows with 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Contact finish specification (Gold mating surface)
• Current capacity (4.7A per contact minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0, ROHS3)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes within the SSW series. Variations in inventory availability, manufacturing date codes, or packaging quantities do not affect functional interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SSW-132-01-F-T qualifies as a direct functional equivalent to the SSW-132-21-F-T. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory certifications. Selection between these parts may be based on:

• Inventory availability: SSW-132-01-F-T currently maintains 997 units in stock versus 694 units for SSW-132-21-F-T
• Supply chain lead times and sourcing logistics
• Design documentation and bill of materials requirements
• Manufacturing date code preferences for traceability

Both parts maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-132-01-F-T be used as a direct replacement for SSW-132-21-F-T in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, current rating, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these two part numbers?

A: No. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), insulation height (0.335"), and contact post length (0.104"). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both SSW-132-21-F-T and SSW-132-01-F-T are UL94 V-0 rated and ROHS3 compliant. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers if they are equivalent?

A: The difference lies in the middle digit sequence (21 versus 01). This variation reflects internal Samtec manufacturing or configuration codes but does not affect functional performance or compatibility when all other parameters remain constant.

Q: Can these connectors handle the same current and voltage specifications?

A: Both connectors are rated for 4.7A per contact. Voltage rating information is not specified in the provided parameters for either part.

Q: Are there packaging or quantity differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Inventory quantities differ (694 units for SSW-132-21-F-T and 997 units for SSW-132-01-F-T), but this reflects current stock levels rather than inherent product differences.
