AW140-EG-G27B

Overview

The AW140-EG-G27B is a single-row male pin header from the AW140 series, manufactured by ASSMANN WSW. It features a 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch and contains 27 contacts. Designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards, this connector utilizes brass terminals with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), providing durability and thermal stability. It supports a maximum current of 3A and operates within a voltage range up to 250V. The unit is intended for board-to-board interconnection applications.

Feature Summary

• Single-row male pin configuration for direct board-to-board connection
• Gold-plated brass terminals ensure stable electrical conductivity
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing offers robust mechanical support

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnect systems
• General electronic device assembly
• Industrial control module connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official manufacturer documentation to confirm terminal length and mating pin specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB hole diameter and soldering process capabilities. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and compliance with regional safety standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight, single-row male header with a 2.54 mm pitch is required for through-hole assembly. Consider the 3A current rating and 250V voltage limit during design phase. Verify that the mating socket or cable assembly aligns with the specific tail pin length defined by the G27B suffix to ensure proper mechanical engagement and board clearance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AW140 series of connectors, which are characterized by their standard 2.54 mm spacing and through-hole termination style. The series provides various contact counts and pin lengths to accommodate different board thicknesses and stacking requirements. The AW140-EG-G27B specifically denotes a 27-position variant with defined physical dimensions suitable for standard PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other ASSMANN WSW AW140 series headers with identical 2.54 mm pitch and 27 positions, such as AW140-EG-G27D, provided the tail pin length and mating pin height requirements match the specific application constraints.
