Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SSW-135-21-G-S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Position Count: Both parts must be 35-position receptacles
  • Pitch & Mating Interface: 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch for mechanical and electrical compatibility
  • Contact Configuration: Forked contact type with identical contact material (Phosphor Bronze) and finish specifications
  • Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
  • Electrical Performance: 4.7A per contact current rating and operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C
  • Compliance & Material: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, LCP insulation material, and ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part SSW-135-01-G-S meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the SSW-135-21-G-S within the SSW series.
