AW140-EG-Z06B

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z06B is a 6-position IDC socket connector manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features gold-plated contacts and is designed for panel or free-hanging installation. The component utilizes an Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) termination method suitable for flat ribbon cables. It belongs to the AW140 series, which provides reliable signal transmission in board-to-board or cable-to-board configurations.

Feature Summary

• Gold-plated contact surfaces ensure low resistance and corrosion resistance
• IDC termination design enables rapid connection to flat ribbon cables
• Supports both panel mounting and free-hanging application methods

Applications

• Flat ribbon cable interconnections
• Board-to-board signal transmission
• Electronic assembly harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and orientation against project requirements. Confirm that the mating header matches the 2.54mm pitch specification. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the required mounting style and cable gauge compatibility before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 6-position interface is required for ribbon cable applications. Consider the AW140 series for standardized dimensions and reliable IDC performance. Evaluate mechanical stability needs to determine if panel mounting or free-hanging configuration best suits the enclosure design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series of connectors from Assmann WSW Components. The series specializes in IDC sockets for flat cable applications. Similar parts in the lineup vary primarily by position count and termination style while maintaining consistent pitch and housing materials.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 6-position IDC sockets from the same manufacturer. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical 2.54mm pitch and gold plating specifications. Ensure mechanical footprint compatibility with existing PCB layouts or panel cutouts.
