AW140-EA-G08H

Overview

The AW140-EA-G08H is an 8-position single-row pin header connector from the AW140 series by Assmann WSW Components. Designed for board-to-board applications, it features a 2.54 mm pitch and right-angle orientation for surface mounting via through-hole technology. The connector utilizes brass contacts with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. It is rated for 250 V and supports a current capacity of 3 A. The housing is constructed from PBT material, providing durability across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle configuration facilitates compact PCB layout integration
• Gold-plated brass contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• PBT housing material ensures thermal stability and mechanical strength

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in electronic assemblies
• Industrial control systems requiring robust connectivity
• Consumer electronics utilizing high-density circuit boards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 8-position count and right-angle orientation. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style aligns with the target PCB design. Ensure compatibility with mating female headers within the same AW140 series family. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle, single-row connection is necessary to save vertical space on the PCB. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose electronics, ensuring wide availability of mating parts. Consider the 3 A current rating and 250 V voltage limit to ensure they meet the circuit requirements. The gold plating is suitable for environments where oxidation resistance is critical for long-term reliability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AW140 series, which offers various pin counts and orientations. It is distinct from straight headers or different pitch connectors within the same manufacturer's lineup. The AW140 series is designed for versatile board-to-board applications, providing options for both right-angle and straight configurations to suit different mechanical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 8-position, 2.54 mm pitch, right-angle pin headers from Assmann WSW or other manufacturers. Ensure the replacement maintains the same current rating, voltage rating, and contact plating specifications. Verify that the housing material and temperature range are equivalent to prevent performance issues in the operating environment.
