AW140-EG-Z18F

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z18F is a board-to-board connector header manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features 18 positions with a 2.54 mm pitch, designed for through-hole mounting in a straight orientation. The component supports a voltage rating of 250V and a current capacity of 3A. Constructed with polybutylene terephthalate housing, it provides reliable electrical interconnection without a cover.

Feature Summary

• Straight orientation design for direct board stacking or vertical connections
• Through-hole termination method ensures secure mechanical attachment to the PCB
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing material offers structural stability

Applications

• Automotive body electronics and lighting systems
• Communications equipment signal routing
• Datacom module interconnections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Z18F against official datasheets to confirm pin count and configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets regarding pitch and height. Check RoHS compliance status prior to integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight, 18-position through-hole header is required. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the 3A current rating meets the circuit requirements for the intended application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series of board-to-board connectors from Assmann WSW. The series includes various pin counts and configurations, all sharing the same 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole mounting characteristics for standardized electronic assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 18-position, 2.54 mm pitch headers from different manufacturers, provided they match the physical dimensions and electrical ratings. Verify cross-compatibility with existing mating connectors before substitution.
