AW140-EG-G34C1

Overview

The AW140-EG-G34C1 is a board-to-board connector header manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features 34 contacts arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch. The component utilizes straight, through-hole solder terminals for PCB mounting and includes a locking mechanism to secure the connection. The insulator is constructed from black polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), providing electrical insulation and mechanical stability.

Feature Summary

• Straight pin header configuration designed for direct vertical board-to-board interconnection
• Integrated locking mechanism ensures secure mating engagement between connector pairs
• Through-hole solder terminal design facilitates reliable attachment to printed circuit boards

Applications

• Vertical interconnection between adjacent printed circuit boards
• Stacked electronic module assembly requiring fixed positional alignment
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard 2.54 mm pitch connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix C1 corresponds to the required contact count and housing color as documented in the official manufacturer datasheet. Confirm that the through-hole termination style matches the target PCB fabrication capabilities. Ensure the locking feature requirement aligns with the mechanical constraints of the final assembly environment before placing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row male header with integrated locking is required for rigid board stacking. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose electronics, but verify clearance requirements for the straight profile. Consider the PBT material properties for thermal resistance if operating in elevated temperature environments compared to alternative polymer housings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series of connectors from Assmann WSW Components. The series offers various contact counts and configurations within the same 2.54 mm pitch family. The EG designation typically indicates specific housing characteristics or locking features distinct from other series variants like the standard AW140 headers without locks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 34-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, straight orientation, and locking mechanism. Generic equivalents may lack the specific locking feature or PBT material specification. Verify dimensional compatibility with mating female sockets before replacing the original Assmann WSW component.
