SSW-136-04-G-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SSW-136-04-G-S is a 36-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 forked contacts, solder termination, and push-pull fastening, operating across -55°C to 125°C. The part is active in production with 728 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the SSW series, ensuring functional interchangeability within the same connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the SSW-136 series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (36), mating pitch (0.100"), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), contact finish (gold), current rating (4.7A per contact), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The SSW-136-24-G-S maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, establishing it as a direct substitute. Variations in part numbering within the SSW-136 base product reflect packaging or configuration differences that do not affect core electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SSW-136-04-G-S and SSW-136-24-G-S are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The SSW-136-24-G-S currently maintains higher stock levels (1185 units versus 728 units), which may influence procurement decisions for applications requiring immediate availability. Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 36-position, 0.100" pitch receptacle connector applications with gold-plated contacts and solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SSW-136-24-G-S be used as a direct replacement for SSW-136-04-G-S? A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, mating pitch, mounting method, termination type, contact finish, current rating, and operating temperature range.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility within the SSW-136 series? A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain constant: 36-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, through-hole mounting, solder termination, gold contact finish, 4.7A per contact current rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance status, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and EAR99 export classification.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix variation (04 versus 24)? A: The suffix variation reflects packaging or configuration differences within the SSW-136 base product line. These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for connector applications.

Q: Should inventory levels influence part selection? A: Inventory availability may be considered as a secondary factor when both parts meet all functional requirements. The SSW-136-24-G-S currently has higher stock availability, which may reduce lead time for procurement.
