AW140-EG-G38A

Overview

The AW140-EG-G38A is a single-row male pin header connector from the AW140 series by Assmann WSW Components. It features a 2.54 mm pitch and 38 positions, designed for board-to-board connections. The housing is made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), with brass contacts gold-plated for reliability. Rated at 3 A and 250 V, it supports through-hole termination. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 105°C. The component is unshrouded and utilizes solder tail termination.

Feature Summary

• Single-row male pin header configuration for direct board-to-board interconnection
• Gold-plated brass contacts ensure stable electrical performance in high-reliability applications
• Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing provides thermal stability and mechanical strength
• Through-hole solder tail termination facilitates secure PCB mounting

Applications

• High-density electronic assemblies requiring reliable signal transmission
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard 2.54 mm spacing interfaces
• Consumer electronics manufacturing involving board-to-board connectivity
• Automotive embedded modules requiring robust thermal performance

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact pin count and orientation against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the supplier documentation explicitly lists AW140-EG-G38A as a 38-position variant. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets regarding contact plating and housing material specifications. Cross-reference terminal dimensions to guarantee proper through-hole fitment on target printed circuit boards.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 38-position male header is required within the AW140 family. Compare tail lengths and shroud options against adjacent part numbers like AW140-EG-G36 variants. Evaluate thermal resistance needs against the -40°C to 105°C operating range. Consider mechanical retention requirements for through-hole installation during assembly processes.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AW140 series, which offers various pin counts and orientations. It shares common design principles with other headers in the line, such as consistent 2.54 mm pitch and PBT housing materials. The specific suffix indicates its position count and physical configuration within the broader product portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AW140 series headers with identical 2.54 mm pitch and 38 positions. Verify equivalent current ratings and voltage specifications when considering alternative manufacturers. Ensure mating socket compatibility remains unchanged during substitution.
