AW140-EG-G18E

Overview

The AW140-EG-G18E is a single-row pin header connector from the AW140 series by Assmann WSW Components. It features 18 positions with a 2.54 mm pitch and supports through-hole mounting for board-to-board connections. The contacts are gold-plated brass, rated for 3A current and 250V voltage. Constructed with polybutylene terephthalate housing, it operates between -40°C and 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Gold-plated brass contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing provides thermal stability
• Through-hole termination secures PCB attachment

Applications

• Automotive body electronics and lighting
• Communications equipment
• Datacom modules
• Personal electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G18E' against official datasheets to confirm pin count and tail length specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles in the AW140 series. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches your PCB design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 18-position, 2.54mm pitch header is required for automotive or datacom applications. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and the 3A current rating. Verify mechanical fit and mating partner availability within the same product family.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series of single-row pin headers designed for high-reliability interconnects. The series offers various pin counts and tail lengths to accommodate different board thicknesses and assembly needs, widely used in industrial and consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other AW140 series headers with identical 18-pin configurations and 2.54mm pitch, such as AW140-EG-G18 variants with matching tail lengths. Verify housing material and contact plating equivalence.
