AW140-EG-G18C2

Overview

The AW140-EG-G18C2 is a single-row male pin header from the AW140 series, manufactured by ASSMANN WSW Components. It features 18 contacts with a 2.54 mm pitch and supports up to 3A current at 250V. The connector utilizes gold-plated brass terminals housed in a PBT insulator, designed for board-to-board applications via through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Gold-plated brass contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• PBT housing provides thermal stability and mechanical strength
• Single-row straight configuration facilitates compact PCB integration

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• General electronic circuit assemblies
• Industrial control modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact count and suffix designation against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with mating connectors. Confirm that the through-hole termination method aligns with the target assembly process requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 2.54mm pitch male header is required for board-to-board connections. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C meets system specifications and that the 3A current rating is sufficient for the application load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series of rectangular connectors, which are characterized by their robust construction and standard 2.54mm spacing. The series offers various configurations to support diverse electronic packaging needs within industrial and consumer electronics sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other AW140 series headers with matching 2.54mm pitch and 18 positions, such as AW140-EG-G18 variants, provided they share identical terminal plating and housing material specifications.
