AW 127-27/Z-HP

Overview

The AW 127-27/Z-HP is a single-row receptacle connector from the AW 127 series, manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features 27 contacts with a 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch and is designed for through-hole mounting in a right-angle configuration. The connector utilizes tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in polybutylene terephthalate insulation rated UL 94 V-0. It supports a maximum current of 12A and a voltage of 100V AC, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle through-hole mounting design for space-efficient PCB integration
• Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing provides UL 94 V-0 flame retardancy

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring right-angle orientation
• General electronic equipment signal routing
• Industrial control system interface modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z-HP' against official datasheets to confirm right-angle orientation and high-performance plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating header pins regarding contact geometry and pitch tolerance. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle connection is necessary to accommodate spatial constraints or cable management needs. The 27-position count suits applications requiring moderate channel density without excessive board area usage. Verify that the 12A current rating aligns with the electrical load requirements of the specific circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW 127 series, which offers various contact counts and orientations. The AW 127-27 variant specifically provides 27 positions. The Z-HP suffix indicates the right-angle form factor and high-performance terminal characteristics, distinguishing it from straight or standard variants within the same family.

Replacement Considerations

AW 127-27/Z-T serves as a potential alternative if right-angle orientation is maintained but high-performance plating is not strictly required. Cross-reference pin dimensions and housing locking mechanisms to ensure mechanical interchangeability with existing assembly fixtures.
