Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AWLP-12/3.2-T-R is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Type: Ribbon Cable, DIP Header
• Number of Positions: 12
• Cable Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Board-Side Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Color: Gray
• Number of Positions Loaded: All

The substitute part AWLP 12/3,2-T meets all these criteria and is manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AWLP 12/3,2-T is the direct substitute for the AWLP-12/3.2-T-R. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part is currently active in production, whereas the original is obsolete. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 classification. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for modern applications. Packaging differs, with the substitute supplied in trays rather than the original packaging specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AWLP 12/3,2-T be used as a direct replacement for AWLP-12/3.2-T-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, position count, pitch specifications, mounting method, and termination type. All electrical and mechanical parameters align, ensuring functional compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The AWLP-12/3.2-T-R is obsolete. The AWLP 12/3,2-T is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued component availability and production support.

Q: Are there differences in compliance or certification?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 status. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance, which the original specification does not list. Both have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The substitute is supplied in trays, which may impact procurement and handling procedures but not functional performance.

Q: Are the pitch specifications identical?

A: Yes. Cable pitch is 0.050" (1.27mm) and board-side pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm) for both parts. Row spacing is 0.100" (2.54mm) in both cases.
