AWP10-8540-T-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AWP10-8540-T-R is a 10 Position Rectangular Socket Connector with IDC termination and tin contact finish, manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. This connector is designed for ribbon cable applications with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and feed-through configuration. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the AWP10-8540-T-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 10
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Socket/Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Wire Type: Ribbon Cable
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Features: Feed Through
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the AWP 10-8540-T from Assmann WSW Components (direct manufacturer equivalent) and the CWR-220-10-0003 from CW Industries (alternative manufacturer equivalent).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AWP 10-8540-T is the primary substitute for the obsolete AWP10-8540-T-R. Both parts are manufactured by Assmann WSW Components and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The AWP 10-8540-T carries active product status and is available in significantly higher inventory (10,077 pieces versus 907 pieces for the main part). This part is RoHS3 compliant, providing enhanced environmental compliance for new designs.

The CWR-220-10-0003 from CW Industries is a secondary alternative that meets all critical substitution parameters. This part differs in contact finish (Tin-Lead versus Tin), color (Blue versus Gray), and RoHS compliance status (non-compliant). The CWR-220-10-0003 is suitable for applications where the Tin-Lead finish and non-compliant status do not present design or regulatory constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AWP 10-8540-T directly replace the AWP10-8540-T-R?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, number of positions, row configuration, IDC termination, and feed-through features. The primary difference is product status: the AWP10-8540-T-R is obsolete while the AWP 10-8540-T is active.

Q: What is the difference between the AWP 10-8540-T and CWR-220-10-0003?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for IDC ribbon cable applications with 10 positions at 0.100" pitch. Differences include: manufacturer (Assmann versus CW Industries), contact finish (Tin versus Tin-Lead), connector color (Gray versus Blue), and RoHS compliance (RoHS3 compliant versus non-compliant). The CWR-220-10-0003 includes a contact finish thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The AWP10-8540-T-R is supplied without specified packaging. The AWP 10-8540-T is packaged in Trays. The CWR-220-10-0003 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on compliance requirements and finish specifications. For RoHS3-compliant applications, the AWP 10-8540-T is the appropriate choice. For applications where Tin-Lead finish is acceptable and RoHS compliance is not required, the CWR-220-10-0003 provides an alternative from a different manufacturer.

Q: Are all three parts electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts meet identical electrical specifications for 10-position IDC ribbon cable connectors with 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, and feed-through features. Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed across all critical dimensions and mounting parameters.
