• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Color: Gray
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part AWLP 16/3,2-G meets all critical dimensional and functional parameters required for direct substitution in applications utilizing the 7816-0000PR.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 7816-0000PR and AWLP 16/3,2-G are active products with identical compliance certifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. The AWLP 16/3,2-G demonstrates equivalent electrical and mechanical performance across all specified parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and procurement cost considerations, as both parts satisfy identical functional and compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AWLP 16/3,2-G replace the 7816-0000PR in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch specifications (0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch), row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (IDC). The 16-position count and gold contact finish are identical across both parts.

Q: Are there differences in wire gauge compatibility?

A: The 7816-0000PR specification includes detailed wire gauge ratings (26 AWG stranded; 28 AWG solid or stranded; 30 AWG solid). The AWLP 16/3,2-G specification does not provide explicit wire gauge data in the available documentation. Verify wire gauge compatibility with the connector manufacturer if specific gauge requirements are critical to your application.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 7816-0000PR and AWLP 16/3,2-G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the difference in packaging?

A: Both parts are supplied in tray packaging. Inventory availability differs: 7816-0000PR has 833 pieces in stock, while AWLP 16/3,2-G has 9366 pieces in stock.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both connectors feature identical mechanical specifications: 16 positions, 2-row configuration, 0.100" row spacing, through-hole mounting, and feed-through design. PCB footprints and mating interfaces are mechanically compatible.
