SLW16S-1C7LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLW16S-1C7LF is a 16-position FFC/FPC vertical connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) with 1.00mm pitch and through-hole mounting. This connector features a slide lock mechanism and zero insertion force (ZIF) design, rated for 100V and 1A operation across -55°C to 85°C. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for new designs or production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HLW16S-2C7LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Identical voltage rating (100V), current rating (1A), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Matching 16-position configuration, 1.00mm pitch, through-hole mounting, and vertical 1-sided contact orientation
• Material Compliance: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance requirements
• Termination: Both use kinked pin termination with phosphor bronze contacts and tin finish
• FFC/FPC Thickness: Identical 0.33mm thickness specification

The substitute part transitions from an obsolete to active product status, ensuring continued component availability for production and design applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HLW16S-2C7LF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete SLW16S-1C7LF. Both components meet identical electrical specifications (100V, 1A, -55°C to 85°C) and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification with RoHS compliance. The substitute part offers improved mating cycle durability (30 cycles versus 20 cycles) and active product status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability. The height differential of 0.040" (0.40mm) must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints during design transition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the SLW16S-1C7LF and HLW16S-2C7LF electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical voltage (100V), current (1A), and temperature ratings (-55°C ~ 85°C), with matching contact materials and finishes.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The HLW16S-2C7LF has a height above board of 0.232" (5.90mm) compared to 0.217" (5.50mm) for the SLW16S-1C7LF, a difference of 0.040" (0.40mm). The substitute also features improved mating cycle rating (30 versus 20) and active product status.

Q: Can I use the HLW16S-2C7LF as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. PCB layout verification is required to accommodate the 0.40mm height increase and ensure clearance with adjacent components.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SLW16S-1C7LF and HLW16S-2C7LF meet RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status ensures continued manufacturing, availability, and technical support from Amphenol ICC (FCI), eliminating supply chain discontinuation risk associated with obsolete components.
