AWLP-16/3.2-T-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AWLP-16/3.2-T-R is a 16-position ribbon cable DIP header connector manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. This through-hole mounted IDC connector features a gray color and feed-through design, supporting 0.050" (1.27mm) cable pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) board-side pitch across 2 rows. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AWLP-16/3.2-T-R is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Ribbon Cable, DIP Header
• Number of Positions: 16
• 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
• Features: Feed Through
• Number of Positions Loaded: All

Two substitute parts meet these criteria. The AWLP 16/3,2-T from Assmann WSW Components is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differentiated only by active product status and packaging format. The 7816-0000PR from 3M is a manufacturer-recommended substitute that maintains all critical dimensional and functional parameters while offering alternative contact finish and wire gauge compatibility options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AWLP 16/3,2-T is the primary substitute for the obsolete AWLP-16/3.2-T-R. Both parts are manufactured by Assmann WSW Components and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The AWLP 16/3,2-T holds active product status and is available in higher inventory quantities, making it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

The 7816-0000PR from 3M is a manufacturer-recommended alternative that maintains full dimensional and functional compatibility. This part features gold contact finish compared to the tin finish of the Assmann parts, and supports multiple wire gauge options (26 AWG stranded, 28 AWG solid or stranded, 30 AWG solid). Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part's RoHS status is not specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AWLP 16/3,2-T be used as a direct replacement for the AWLP-16/3.2-T-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Assmann WSW Components and share identical connector type, position count, pitch specifications, mounting method, and cable termination approach. The primary difference is product status: the AWLP 16/3,2-T is active and available in higher quantities.

Q: What is the difference between the Assmann and 3M substitute parts?

A: The AWLP 16/3,2-T and 7816-0000PR maintain identical dimensional and functional specifications. The 3M part (7816-0000PR) features gold contact finish with flash thickness and supports three wire gauge options, while the Assmann part (AWLP 16/3,2-T) uses tin contact finish. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical ratings.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The AWLP-16/3.2-T-R packaging is not specified in available documentation. The AWLP 16/3,2-T is supplied in tray packaging, and the 7816-0000PR is also supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same wire gauges?

A: The AWLP-16/3.2-T-R wire gauge is not specified. The AWLP 16/3,2-T wire gauge is not specified. The 7816-0000PR supports 26 AWG stranded, 28 AWG solid or stranded, and 30 AWG solid wire configurations. Verify wire gauge compatibility with your cable assembly specifications.

Q: Are all parts REACH compliant?

A: Yes. The AWLP-16/3.2-T-R, AWLP 16/3,2-T, and 7816-0000PR all carry REACH Unaffected status.
