AW 127-55/Z-T

Overview

The AW 127-55/Z-T is a 55-position socket connector from the AW 127 series by Assmann WSW Components. It features a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch and utilizes through-hole termination for board-to-board mounting. The receptacle employs gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Designed for vertical orientation, this component supports standard PCB assembly processes. It serves as a robust interconnection solution for electronic circuits requiring high-density pin configurations with secure mechanical retention.

Feature Summary

• Provides 55 contact positions for high-density circuit interconnections
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts to enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Features vertical through-hole termination for secure board mounting

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnection systems
• High-density electronic circuit assemblies
• Industrial control module interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 55-position configuration and gold plating specification. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB footprint and mating header dimensions. Ensure the vertical through-hole design aligns with the assembly process requirements. Cross-reference the AW 127 series specifications to validate electrical ratings and environmental operating conditions before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 55-pin vertical socket is required for board-to-board applications. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard header connectors. Gold plating offers superior performance in environments where oxidation resistance is critical. Consider the through-hole mounting method for applications prioritizing mechanical stability over surface-mount space constraints.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the AW 127 series, which provides various position options within the same form factor. The series is designed for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The AW 127-55/Z-T specifically addresses needs for higher pin counts while maintaining the standard 2.54 mm spacing. It complements other components in the series offering different terminal counts and orientations.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 55-position, 2.54 mm pitch vertical sockets from the same manufacturer or industry standards. Verify that replacement parts match the gold plating specification and through-hole termination type. Ensure the mating header dimensions are identical to prevent connection failures.
