AW140-EA-Z40H

Overview

The AW140-EA-Z40H is a right-angle PCB header connector from the AW140 series by Assmann WSW Components. It features 40 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and supports through-hole mounting. The connector system is designed for board-to-board applications, utilizing gold-plated brass contacts housed in polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Rated for 3 A current and 250 V voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle design facilitates compact vertical circuit board integration.
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing provides thermal stability and mechanical strength.

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• High-density electronic assemblies
• Industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z40H' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact pin configuration and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding pitch and row alignment before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring right-angle board-to-board connectivity. Confirm that the 40-position count and 2.54 mm pitch align with the target PCB layout and mating interface requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series, which offers various configurations including straight and right-angle headers. The series is characterized by standard 2.54 mm spacing and robust PBT construction suitable for general electronic interconnect needs.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 40-position, 2.54 mm pitch right-angle headers from the same series or equivalent manufacturers, provided contact plating and current ratings match.
