This Hover-Davis 3×8mm SSF is a triple-lane 8mm multi-pitch feeder for SIPLACE S applications. Unlike an exact ASM part-number page, this product belongs to a Hover-Davis SSF family with several documented generations, so the feeder label is part of the purchasing decision.
HO-SSF01-08 is one documented 3×8mm model and is specifically listed as replaced by SSF06-08. Other SSF 3×8mm generations also exist. That history is useful when sourcing an older feeder, but it does not mean every SSF generation should be treated as automatically interchangeable.
The practical value of identifying the full SSF model is that maintenance and procurement can stay with the actual installed feeder generation instead of ordering from the generic description 3×8mm feeder alone.

If one tape lane feeds inconsistently, check that lane's tape path, reel condition, mechanical resistance and drive behavior before condemning the complete feeder. A lane-specific feeding problem and a feeder-wide problem do not point to the same repair scope.
This Hover-Davis SSF family should also remain separate from ASM's own 3×8mm S-Feeder variants. For original ASM feeder options, see the 00141088 SL S-Feeder and other products in the SIPLACE feeder range.
For replacement matching, send the complete Hover-Davis model label and feeder photos. This allows the SSF generation to be identified before stock or repair options are confirmed.
