AW140-EG-Z20F

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z20F is a straight, through-hole pin header connector from the AW140 series by Assmann WSW Components. It features a 2.54 mm pitch and contains 20 positions in a single row. The contacts are made of brass with gold-over-nickel plating to ensure reliable conductivity. The housing is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Rated for 3A current and 250V voltage, this component serves as a board-to-board interconnect solution.

Feature Summary

• Straight orientation design for direct PCB mounting
• Gold-plated brass contacts for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic PBT housing material

Applications

• Automotive body electronics
• Communications equipment
• Datacom modules
• Personal electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and contact configuration against the official datasheet before procurement. Ensure the required current rating and voltage specifications align with the system design requirements. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style matches the target printed circuit board layout constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20-position, 2.54mm pitch header is required for vertical board connections. Consider the AW140 series compatibility if mating with standard headers. Evaluate the thermal stability of the PBT housing against the operating environment temperature range.

Part Context
