AWP24-7241-T-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AWP24-7241-T-R is a 24 Position Rectangular Socket Connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination and gold plating, manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. This connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch in a 2-row configuration with feed-through and polarizing key capabilities. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AWP24-7241-T-R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: Must be 24 positions
• Pitch Specification: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Configuration: Must be 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Cable Termination Method: Must be IDC
• Contact Finish: Must be gold
• Mounting Configuration: Must be free hanging (in-line)

The substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in connector type (socket vs. receptacle vs. header), packaging format, wire gauge specifications, and feature sets (feed-through vs. closed-end) represent acceptable differences within the rectangular connector category for this application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AWP 24-7240-T (Assmann WSW Components) is the primary direct substitute. This part maintains identical connector type (socket), position count, pitch, and row configuration as the obsolete AWP24-7241-T-R. The primary distinction is product status: AWP 24-7240-T is active with ROHS3 compliance and higher inventory availability (6834 units), compared to the obsolete status of the original part.

3626-7000 and 3626-6000 (3M, Series 3000) are functionally equivalent alternatives. Both parts meet all core electrical and mechanical parameters. The 3626-7000 features a closed-end design with polarizing key, while 3626-6000 provides a feed-through configuration. Both are RoHS compliant and actively produced. Wire gauge specification is 26-28 AWG for both 3M parts.

SFH210-PPPC-D12-ID-BK-M181 (Sullins Connector Solutions, Series SFH210) is a header-type connector alternative. While the connector type differs from the socket configuration of the main part, it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 24 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, IDC termination, and gold contact finish. This part is ROHS3 compliant and actively produced with 28 AWG wire gauge specification.

All substitute parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification, matching the regulatory profile of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AWP 24-7240-T directly replace AWP24-7241-T-R in existing designs?

A: Yes. AWP 24-7240-T is functionally equivalent across all critical parameters: connector type (socket), position count (24), pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), IDC termination, and gold contact finish. The primary difference is product status—AWP 24-7240-T is active production while AWP24-7241-T-R is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between socket, receptacle, and header connector types in this product category?

A: Socket, receptacle, and header are distinct connector form factors within the 24-position, 0.100" pitch rectangular connector family. All three types in this substitute list maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for position count, pitch, row spacing, IDC termination, and contact finish. Selection between these types depends on the mating interface requirements of the specific application.

Q: Are the 3M parts (3626-7000 and 3626-6000) interchangeable?

A: Both 3M parts meet the core substitution criteria. The primary difference is feature set: 3626-7000 includes a closed-end design with polarizing key, while 3626-6000 provides a feed-through configuration. Selection depends on whether the application requires the polarizing key feature and closed-end vs. feed-through design.

Q: Does wire gauge affect substitution compatibility?

A: Wire gauge is specified for the 3M parts (26-28 AWG) and Sullins part (28 AWG), but not for the Assmann parts. Wire gauge specification indicates the ribbon cable gauge the connector is designed to terminate. All substitute parts are compatible with standard IDC ribbon cable applications within their specified gauge ranges.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for these parts?

A: All substitute parts carry RoHS compliance certifications (ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant), indicating they meet restrictions on hazardous substances. The original AWP24-7241-T-R does not specify RoHS status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, any of the four substitute parts satisfy this requirement.

Q: How does packaging format affect part selection?

A: Packaging format (Tray, Bulk, or not specified) affects logistics and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. AWP 24-7240-T is supplied in Tray packaging, 3M parts in Bulk, and SFH210-PPPC-D12-ID-BK-M181 in Tray. Selection should consider procurement volume and inventory management requirements.
