AWP34-7241-T-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AWP34-7241-T-R is a 34 Position Rectangular Socket Connector with IDC termination and gold contact finish manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. This connector is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing system support and new designs. The part features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration with dual-row layout, polarizing key, and feed-through design suitable for ribbon cable applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AWP34-7241-T-R is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Socket connectors with female socket contacts are substitutable with receptacle connectors featuring female socket contacts, as both accommodate the same mating interface.
Position Count & Pitch: All substitute parts maintain 34 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with 2-row, 0.100" row spacing configuration.
Cable Termination Method: IDC termination is maintained across all substitutes for ribbon cable compatibility.
Contact Finish: Gold plating is specified for all parts to ensure electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
Mounting Configuration: Free hanging in-line mounting is preserved across all substitutes.

The substitute parts listed represent direct functional equivalents across manufacturers (Assmann WSW Components, 3M, Amphenol ICC/FCI, and CW Industries) with active product status or documented manufacturer recommendations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: AWP 34-7240-T

The AWP 34-7240-T is the direct successor from Assmann WSW Components with active product status. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete AWP34-7241-T-R while offering ROHS3 compliance and improved availability (1670 units in stock). Selection of this part eliminates cross-manufacturer compatibility considerations.

Secondary Recommendations: 3M Series (3414-6000, 3414-7000)

Both 3M parts are manufacturer-recommended equivalents with active status and ROHS3 compliance. The 3414-6000 features feed-through design with 26-28 AWG wire gauge specification, while the 3414-7000 provides closed-end configuration. Selection between these depends on application-specific termination requirements.

Alternative Recommendations: Amphenol ICC/FCI Series (71600-134LF, 86130343130345E1LF)

The 71600-134LF (Quickie™ series) offers feed-through design with polarizing key and 28-30 AWG wire gauge specification. The 86130343130345E1LF provides latch holder fastening with 28 AWG specification. Both maintain RoHS compliance and active product status.

Tertiary Recommendation: CWR-217-34-0000

The CW Industries CWR-217-34-0000 provides ROHS3 compliance with feed-through, polarizing key, and strain relief features. This part differs in base color (blue versus gray) and contact finish thickness (10.0µin versus flash or 30.0µin specifications).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AWP34-7241-T-R be directly replaced with a receptacle connector?

A: Yes. Socket and receptacle connectors with identical position counts, pitch, row spacing, and IDC termination are functionally equivalent for ribbon cable mating applications. The contact type (female socket) remains consistent across all substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of wire gauge specifications (26-28 AWG, 28-30 AWG, 28 AWG)?

A: Wire gauge specifications indicate the acceptable ribbon cable conductor sizes for IDC termination. The AWP34-7241-T-R does not specify wire gauge, making it compatible with parts specifying 26-28 AWG, 28-30 AWG, or 28 AWG ranges. Verify ribbon cable gauge against the selected substitute part specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitutes?

A: Yes. Packaging varies across substitutes: AWP 34-7240-T (Tray), 3414-6000 and 3414-7000 (Bulk), 71600-134LF (Tube), 86130343130345E1LF (Bulk), and CWR-217-34-0000 (Bulk). Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: What is the difference between feed-through and closed-end configurations?

A: Feed-through connectors allow signal pass-through to additional connectors in series, while closed-end connectors terminate the signal path. The AWP34-7241-T-R features feed-through design. The 3414-7000 provides closed-end configuration as an alternative.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same contact finish thickness?

A: No. Contact finish thickness varies: AWP34-7241-T-R (Flash), AWP 34-7240-T (Flash), 3M parts (30.0µin/0.76µm), 71600-134LF (30.0µin/0.76µm), 86130343130345E1LF (Not specified), and CWR-217-34-0000 (10.0µin/0.25µm). Flash plating and 30.0µin specifications provide equivalent corrosion protection for standard applications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best compliance profile?

A: All active substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance or RoHS compliance with REACH Unaffected or REACH Affected status. The AWP 34-7240-T, 3M parts, and CWR-217-34-0000 specify ROHS3 compliance. The Amphenol ICC/FCI parts specify RoHS compliance with REACH Affected status.

Q: Is color difference between substitutes significant?

A: Color difference (gray versus blue) is cosmetic and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The CWR-217-34-0000 features blue color while other substitutes are gray. Selection based on color depends on system documentation or assembly requirements.
