Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete SP20W1T is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part SP20W2T maintains identical specifications for contact type, size, wire gauge range, termination method, material composition, and finish. Both components share the same base product number (SP20) and belong to the ecomate® Aquarius™ series, confirming functional interchangeability.

The primary distinction between SP20W1T and SP20W2T is packaging format and product status. SP20W1T is supplied in standard packaging and is obsolete, while SP20W2T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format and maintains active product status. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance; it reflects manufacturing and distribution methodology.

Substitution is valid based on the following matched parameters:

• Contact Type: Pin, Signal, Stamped
• Contact Size: 20
• Wire Gauge: 20-22 AWG (0.34 ~ 0.5 mm²)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Features: Insulation Support
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SP20W2T is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete SP20W1T. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. SP20W2T is the recommended selection for new designs and production applications due to its active product status and continued availability.

For existing applications currently using SP20W1T, transition to SP20W2T is supported without design modification. The components are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters: contact configuration, wire gauge compatibility, termination method, material composition, and surface finish.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.

The Tape & Reel packaging format of SP20W2T provides advantages for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments, while maintaining compatibility with manual assembly workflows.
