AW140-EG-Z20E

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z20E is a board-to-board connector header manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features 20 positions arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The component utilizes gold flash plating on the contacts and is designed for through-hole mounting. It supports a voltage rating of 250VAC/DC and carries a current rating of 3A per contact. The housing material is polybutylene terephthalate, ensuring mechanical stability.

Feature Summary

• Gold flash plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Single row straight pin header configuration
• Through-hole mounting technology for secure PCB attachment

Applications

• General purpose electronic circuit interconnections
• Board-to-board communication links
• Industrial control system assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact count and plating type. Ensure the selected variant matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20-position straight header is required. The 2.54mm pitch is standard for general electronics. Consider the 3A current rating for power distribution needs. Verify that the through-hole footprint aligns with the PCB design constraints.
