AW 127-42/Z-T

Overview

The AW 127-42/Z-T is a single-row female header connector from the AW 127 series, manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features 42 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. Designed for board-to-board applications, it utilizes through-hole termination and straight orientation. The contacts are gold-plated bronze, housed in polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Rated for 100 V AC voltage, this component supports reliable electrical connections within standard operating temperature ranges.

Feature Summary

• Single row configuration with 42 contact positions
• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity
• Through-hole mounting for secure PCB attachment

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating and housing material against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 42-position layout matches the target footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating male headers regarding pitch and row alignment to prevent mechanical stress during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density single-row interface is required. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures broad compatibility with standard PCB designs. Consider the through-hole installation method for robust mechanical stability compared to surface mount alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW 127 series of rectangular connectors. The series offers various pin counts and configurations. The AW 127-42/Z-T specifically addresses needs for higher channel counts in compact form factors while maintaining standard spacing dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

AW 127-42/G-T serves as a variant with tin-plated contacts instead of gold.
