Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CW Industries CWR-130-16-0001 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the Amphenol ICC 65493-004. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following factors:

The Amphenol ICC 65493-004 carries obsolete product status, limiting availability for new procurement and ongoing system support. The CW Industries CWR-130-16-0001 maintains active product status with current manufacturing and distribution channels.

The CW Industries part achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original Amphenol ICC part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance difference is significant for applications subject to regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS adherence.

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 16-position configuration, 0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch, dual-row layout with 0.300" row spacing, through-hole mounting, IDC termination, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, feed-through capability, and blue color. The CW Industries part specifies 28-30 AWG wire gauge compatibility for stranded or solid conductors, providing explicit wire gauge definition absent from the original part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the CW Industries CWR-130-16-0001 a direct substitute for the Amphenol ICC 65493-004?

A: Both connectors share identical specifications for the critical parameters that determine mechanical and electrical compatibility: 16-position count, 0.050" (1.27mm) cable pitch, 0.100" (2.54mm) board-side pitch, 2-row configuration with 0.300" (7.62mm) row spacing, through-hole mounting, IDC termination, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, feed-through design, and blue color. These parameters ensure direct pin-for-pin and footprint compatibility.

Q: Why is the Amphenol ICC 65493-004 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. This classification necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives to support existing systems and enable new designs without interruption.

Q: Does the CW Industries part work with existing PCB layouts designed for the Amphenol ICC connector?

A: Yes. The CW Industries CWR-130-16-0001 maintains identical board-side pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.300"), and through-hole mounting configuration, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The CW Industries CWR-130-16-0001 is ROHS3 compliant, while the Amphenol ICC 65493-004 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance must use the CW Industries part.

Q: Are there any wire gauge considerations when switching to the CW Industries part?

A: The CW Industries CWR-130-16-0001 specifies compatibility with 28-30 AWG wire gauge in both stranded and solid conductor configurations. Ensure ribbon cable specifications match this wire gauge range for proper IDC termination and electrical performance.

Q: Can both connectors be used interchangeably in the same application?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require RoHS compliance. For new designs or applications with RoHS mandates, the CW Industries CWR-130-16-0001 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system support where RoHS compliance is not required, either part functions identically.
