Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AWP06-8541-T-R is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Socket) and contact type (Female Socket)
• Position count (6 positions) and pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" row spacing)
• Cable termination method (IDC for ribbon cable)
• Contact finish material (Tin)
• Base product series (AWP 06)
• Environmental compliance (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99)

The substitute part AWP 06-8540-T maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AWP 06-8540-T is a direct functional equivalent to the AWP06-8541-T-R. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AWP 06 rectangular connector series. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: AWP06-8541-T-R is obsolete while AWP 06-8540-T maintains active production status.

Selection of AWP 06-8540-T is supported by:

• Identical connector geometry and contact configuration
• Matching IDC ribbon cable termination capability
• Equivalent environmental compliance (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification)
• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain support
• RoHS3 compliance certification on the substitute part

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AWP 06-8540-T directly replace AWP06-8541-T-R in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical in all critical parameters: 6-position socket configuration, 0.100" pitch, 2-row layout, IDC ribbon cable termination, and tin contact finish. The substitute part maintains the same form factor and functional performance.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. AWP06-8541-T-R is obsolete, while AWP 06-8540-T is in active production. Additionally, AWP 06-8540-T is supplied in tray packaging and carries RoHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching to AWP 06-8540-T?

A: Yes. AWP06-8541-T-R packaging is not specified in available documentation, while AWP 06-8540-T is supplied in tray packaging. Verify that tray packaging is compatible with your receiving, storage, and assembly processes.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of AWP 06-8540-T affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is a material composition standard that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The substitute part remains fully compatible with applications designed for the original part.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both AWP06-8541-T-R and AWP 06-8540-T are manufactured by Assmann WSW Components and belong to the same AWP 06 connector series.
