Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AWP30-8541-T-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Socket)
• Number of positions (30)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire type (Ribbon Cable)
• Contact finish (Tin)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Base product series (AWP 30)

The substitute part AWP 30-8540-T meets all these criteria. The primary difference is product status: the substitute is active and available, whereas the main part is obsolete. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AWP 30 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AWP 30-8540-T is the direct substitute for the obsolete AWP30-8541-T-R. Both connectors are manufactured by Assmann WSW Components and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.

The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas compliance information for the main part is not provided. Both parts maintain REACH unaffected status and identical export classification (EAR99). Moisture sensitivity level remains unchanged at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

The substitute is supplied in tray packaging, whereas packaging information for the main part is not specified. This difference is a logistical consideration only and does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AWP 30-8540-T be used as a direct replacement for AWP30-8541-T-R?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting configuration, cable termination method, and contact finish. They are functionally equivalent within the AWP 30 series.

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

A: The main difference is product status. AWP30-8541-T-R is obsolete, while AWP 30-8540-T is active and in production. The substitute includes ROHS3 compliance certification. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The connectors are designed for identical ribbon cable applications with the same IDC termination method, pitch spacing, and mounting configuration.

Q: Does packaging affect the substitution?

A: Packaging format (tray for the substitute versus unspecified for the main part) is a procurement and handling consideration only. It does not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The AWP 30-8540-T is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. These certifications meet current regulatory requirements for rectangular connector components.
