AWLP-20/3.2-T-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AWLP-20/3.2-T-R is a 20-position ribbon cable DIP header connector manufactured by Assmann WSW Components, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with a 0.050" (1.27mm) cable pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) board-side pitch across 2 rows. The product is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AWLP-20/3.2-T-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Ribbon Cable, DIP Header
• Position count: 20 positions
• Cable pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Board-side pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row configuration: 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Mounting method: Through Hole
• Termination method: IDC
• Feed-through capability
• Contact finish: Tin
• Color: Gray
• All positions loaded

The substitute part AWLP 20/3,2-T matches all these parameters and is manufactured by the same supplier, Assmann WSW Components. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AWLP 20/3,2-T is the direct substitute for the obsolete AWLP-20/3.2-T-R. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The substitute part is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1193 pcs vs. 677 pcs). The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for new designs. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical export classification (EAR99). Selection of the active substitute part ensures long-term supply chain continuity and compliance with current environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the AWLP-20/3.2-T-R and AWLP 20/3,2-T electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical, featuring the same 20-position configuration, 0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch, tin contact finish, and IDC termination method.

Q: What is the mechanical compatibility between these parts?

A: The parts are mechanically identical. Both feature 2-row through-hole mounting with 0.100" row spacing, gray color, and feed-through capability. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are equivalent.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: The AWLP-20/3.2-T-R is no longer in active production. The AWLP 20/3,2-T serves as the current production equivalent from the same manufacturer.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The main part packaging is not specified. The substitute part is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The AWLP 20/3,2-T is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Is there a difference in contact finish or plating thickness?

A: Both parts feature tin contact finish. Contact finish thickness is not specified for either part.

Q: Can I use the substitute part in existing designs without modification?

A: Yes. The substitute part is a direct replacement with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. No design changes are required.
