ADIP16-G-LC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ADIP16-G-LC is a 16-position ribbon cable DIP header connector manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. This through-hole IDC connector features a vertical orientation with dual-row configuration and is designed for applications requiring reliable ribbon cable termination. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ADIP16-G-LC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Ribbon Cable, DIP Header
• Position count: 16 positions
• Cable pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Board-side pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row configuration: 2 rows with 0.300" (7.62mm) spacing
• Mounting method: Through hole
• Cable termination: IDC
• Contact finish: Gold
• Feed-through capability

All substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in wire gauge acceptance, contact finish thickness, color, and product status do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the ADIP16-G-LC based on core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between alternatives should consider the following factors:

5746613-3 (TE Connectivity AMP-Latch Series): This part is actively manufactured and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The specified wire gauge range (28 AWG stranded; 26-30 AWG solid) provides defined compatibility with standard ribbon cable configurations. Black connector color matches the original ADIP16-G-LC.

CWR-130-16-0000 (CW Industries CWR Series): This part is actively manufactured and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The wire gauge range (28-30 AWG stranded or solid) accommodates standard ribbon cable specifications. The blue connector color differs from the original, which may be relevant for visual identification in legacy systems.

Both parts carry identical MSL ratings, REACH status, and ECCN classifications as the original component. Inventory availability and packaging format (tray versus bulk) may influence procurement decisions based on application volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5746613-3 or CWR-130-16-0000 be used as direct replacements for the ADIP16-G-LC?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 16-position configuration, 0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch, 2-row layout with 0.300" row spacing, through-hole mounting, IDC termination, and gold contact finish. Functional interchangeability is confirmed.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness affect compatibility?

A: No. The contact finish thickness variations (flash versus 5.00µin versus 10.0µin) do not impact electrical performance or mechanical fit within the specified parameter set. All finishes provide adequate conductivity and durability for IDC ribbon cable applications.

Q: Is the color difference between the black ADIP16-G-LC and blue CWR-130-16-0000 a concern?

A: Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection between black and blue connectors should be based on system identification requirements or visual traceability protocols specific to your application.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these substitute connectors?

A: The 5746613-3 accepts 28 AWG stranded or 26-30 AWG solid wire. The CWR-130-16-0000 accepts 28-30 AWG stranded or solid wire. Both ranges cover standard ribbon cable specifications. Verify your specific ribbon cable gauge against these ranges before final selection.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5746613-3 and CWR-130-16-0000 are ROHS3 compliant. The original ADIP16-G-LC RoHS status was not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the difference between tray and bulk packaging?

A: Tray packaging (5746613-3) provides organized component presentation suitable for automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging (CWR-130-16-0000) is typically used for manual handling or custom kit assembly. Packaging format does not affect connector performance.
