AW140-EG-Z16F

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z16F is a header connector from the AW140 series manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features a 16-position configuration with a single row of contacts. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and is designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It operates at a voltage rating of 250V and supports a current capacity of 3A. The housing material is polybutylene terephthalate, providing structural integrity.

Feature Summary

• Single-row header design for board-to-board interconnection
• Through-hole termination method for secure PCB mounting
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing material

Applications

• General electronic equipment interconnects
• Industrial control system wiring
• Consumer electronics assembly

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct contact plating and housing color match project requirements. Confirm that the through-hole footprint aligns with the target PCB layout. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-pin, 2.54mm pitch header is required for vertical board connections. Ensure the 3A current rating and 250V voltage limit are sufficient for the application. Consider the single-row format for space-constrained designs where multi-row headers are not feasible.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series, which offers various pin counts and configurations. It is a standard passive connector used in Assmann WSW's portfolio of IC sockets and IDC connectors. The model specifies a 16-position variant within this broader family of through-hole header components.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 16-position, 2.54mm pitch headers from manufacturers such as Samtec or Molex, provided they match the through-hole mounting style and current ratings.
