AWP14-8240-T-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AWP14-8240-T-R is a 14-position rectangular socket connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination and gold plating, manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. This connector is designed for ribbon cable applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and feed-through capabilities. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for ongoing system support and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AWP14-8240-T-R is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Number of Positions: 14
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Cable Termination: IDC
• Wire Type: Ribbon Cable
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Features: Feed Through
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Acceptable Variations:

• Connector Type designation (Socket vs. Receptacle terminology)
• Packaging format (Tray, Bulk, Tube)
• Product Status (Active vs. Obsolete)
• Color (Gray or alternative)
• Contact Finish Thickness (within specification range)
• Wire Gauge specification (when provided)
• Manufacturer identity

All identified substitutes maintain these critical parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: AWP 14-8240-T

The AWP 14-8240-T is the direct equivalent from Assmann WSW Components. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete AWP14-8240-T-R while offering active product status and significantly higher inventory availability (37,402 units). The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries the same REACH unaffected status. Selection of this substitute eliminates supply chain risk associated with the obsolete designation.

Secondary Substitutes: CWR-220-14-0000, D89114-0001HK, D89114-0031HK

These alternatives from CW Industries and 3M meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. All three maintain active product status and RoHS compliance. The 3M options (D89114-0001HK and D89114-0031HK) provide specified wire gauge compatibility (26-28 AWG) and defined contact finish thickness. The CWR-220-14-0000 offers the highest inventory level among secondary options (11,087 units). Selection among these alternatives depends on supply chain preferences, packaging requirements, and wire gauge specifications for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AWP14-8240-T-R be directly replaced with AWP 14-8240-T?

A: Yes. The AWP 14-8240-T is the direct active equivalent. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, IDC termination, ribbon cable compatibility, female socket contacts, gold plating, feed-through features, and free-hanging mounting. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Socket and Receptacle terminology in the substitute list?

A: Both designations refer to the same functional component type in this application context. The female socket contact configuration remains consistent across all listed parts regardless of terminology used by individual manufacturers.

Q: Are the 3M D89114 parts compatible with unspecified wire gauges?

A: The D89114-0001HK and D89114-0031HK are specified for 26-28 AWG ribbon cable. If the original application uses ribbon cable within this gauge range, these parts are compatible. The primary difference between these two 3M options is packaging (Tube vs. Bulk).

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (Tray, Bulk, Tube) affects only storage, handling, and ordering logistics. All substitute parts maintain identical connector specifications regardless of packaging designation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes carry either ROHS3 Compliant or RoHS Compliant status. All parts maintain REACH unaffected status consistent with the original part.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variation?

A: Contact finish thickness is provided for the CW Industries and 3M options (10.0µin to 15.0µin range). These variations remain within acceptable gold plating specifications for IDC connector applications. The original part does not specify thickness, indicating compatibility with the provided range.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: The AWP 14-8240-T offers the highest inventory level at 37,402 units, followed by CWR-220-14-0000 at 11,087 units. Both provide immediate availability for production requirements.
