AW 127-58/Z-T

Overview

The AW 127-58/Z-T is a 58-position female header connector from the AW 127 series by Assmann WSW Components. It features a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and is designed for through-hole mounting. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 100V voltage, it supports board-to-board connections in a straight orientation. The housing is constructed from durable plastic materials compliant with UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides 58 contact positions for high-density interconnect applications
• Features gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Designed for vertical through-hole soldering onto printed circuit boards

Applications

• High-density electronic assemblies requiring multiple signal lines
• Industrial control systems utilizing board-to-board connectivity
• Consumer electronics manufacturing with standard 2.54mm spacing requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count of 58 against design schematics before ordering. Confirm that the gold plating specification matches the application's environmental requirements. Ensure the through-hole footprint aligns with the PCB layout. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by regional regulations. Validate the operating temperature range suitability for the intended environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-count female header is required for rigid board-to-board connections. The 2.54mm pitch is standard for many legacy and current designs. Gold plating is preferred over tin for environments where oxidation resistance is critical. Consider the physical height and mating force requirements relative to the assembly constraints. Compare against alternative series if different contact counts or plating options are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW 127 series, which offers various position counts ranging from small to large configurations. The series is characterized by its robust construction and standard 2.54mm spacing. It serves as a fundamental interconnect solution within Assmann WSW's portfolio of passive components. Similar parts in the series differ primarily in the number of contacts while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 58-position female headers with identical 2.54mm pitch and through-hole termination. Verify compatibility with mating male headers regarding contact size and plating. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent specifications if supply chain issues arise.
