CWN-412-20-0000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CWN-412-20-0000 is a rectangular connector header manufactured by CW Industries, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This shrouded 20-position connector with 2.54mm pitch serves board-to-cable/wire interconnection requirements. The part is currently active in production with 779 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to supply constraints, manufacturing discontinuation, or specific application requirements where alternative connector series meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 65823-067 (Amphenol ICC/FCI Quickie™ series) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Number of positions: 20
• Number of rows: 2
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Contact shape: Circular
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation color: Blue
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• HTSUS code: 8536.69.4040

These parameters define the core mechanical and electrical compatibility for board-to-cable/wire interconnection in 2.54mm pitch applications. Variations in contact length, insulation height, and contact finish thickness remain within acceptable tolerances for standard rectangular connector substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CWN-412-20-0000 (Primary Selection):

• Active product status with confirmed inventory (779 units)
• ROHS3 compliant
• REACH unaffected status
• Established supply chain through CW Industries

65823-067 (Substitute Selection):

• Active product status with confirmed inventory (775 units)
• RoHS non-compliant
• REACH affected status
• Alternative supply through Amphenol ICC/FCI Quickie™ series

Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements specific to the end application. The CWN-412-20-0000 is preferred for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The 65823-067 serves as a functional equivalent for applications where RoHS non-compliance and REACH-affected status are acceptable. Both parts meet identical mechanical and electrical interface requirements for 2.54mm pitch, 20-position, right-angle header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CWN-412-20-0000 and 65823-067 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (20), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and shrouding (4-wall). Physical board layout and mating connector compatibility are preserved.

Q: What are the key differences between these substitute parts?

A: Primary differences include contact finish thickness (CWN-412-20-0000: 10.0µin vs. 65823-067: 30.0µin for mating surface), insulation material composition (thermoplastic vs. polyester glass-filled), and compliance certifications (ROHS3 compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant). Contact length specifications also vary slightly (0.240" vs. 0.230" mating length).

Q: Can I use 65823-067 in place of CWN-412-20-0000 in a ROHS3-compliant assembly?

A: No. The 65823-067 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance must use CWN-412-20-0000 or equivalent ROHS3-compliant alternatives.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The CWN-412-20-0000 specifies -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature. The 65823-067 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. Verify temperature requirements with the manufacturer before substitution in temperature-critical applications.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The CWN-412-20-0000 is rated for 1A per contact. The 65823-067 does not specify a current rating in the available data. Confirm current requirements with the manufacturer for the substitute part.

Q: Do both connectors use the same termination method?

A: Yes. Both parts use solder termination for through-hole mounting, ensuring compatible PCB assembly processes.
