Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AWLP-18/3.2-T-R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Ribbon Cable, DIP Header (must match exactly)
• Number of Positions: 18 (must match exactly)
• Cable Pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm) (must match exactly)
• Board-Side Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (must match exactly)
• Number of Rows: 2 (must match exactly)
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) (must match exactly)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (must match exactly)
• Cable Termination: IDC (must match exactly)
• Contact Finish: Tin (must match exactly)
• Color: Gray (must match exactly)

The AWLP 18/3,2-T qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters while transitioning from obsolete to active product status.
