AW140-EG-Z17C2

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z17C2 is a board-to-board connector header manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features a single row of 17 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The component utilizes through-hole mounting for secure PCB attachment and employs gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Designed for straight orientation, it serves as a male connector interface within electronic assemblies requiring standardized spacing and durable mechanical connection.

Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting configuration for robust PCB integration
• Single row layout with 17 contact positions
• Standard 2.54 mm pitch for universal compatibility

Applications

• Automotive body electronics
• Lighting systems
• Communications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pin count and termination style. Ensure the selected variant matches the required current rating and voltage specifications for the target application. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to confirm availability status and any recent design changes or obsolescence notices from Assmann WSW Components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight, single-row header with through-hole termination is required. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard PCB layouts. Consider the mechanical locking features and material properties if environmental stability is critical. Verify that the contact plating meets the corrosion resistance requirements for the operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series of board connectors from Assmann WSW Components. The series offers various configurations including different pin counts and termination styles. The AW140-EG-Z17C2 specifically denotes a 17-position header with through-hole pins, fitting into the broader ecosystem of standard interconnect solutions provided by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other AW140 series headers with identical 17-pin through-hole configurations. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution. Generic equivalents must match the 2.54 mm pitch and straight orientation to ensure proper fitment on existing PCBs.
