AW140-EG-Z21C1

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z21C1 is a board-to-board connector header manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features 21 positions arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The component utilizes straight through-hole mounting and male contact configuration. Electrical specifications include a voltage rating of 250V and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with a UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Feature Summary

• Straight male header design for direct board-to-board interconnection
• Through-hole termination method for secure PCB mounting
• Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulator material ensuring thermal stability

Applications

• Automotive body electronics systems
• Automotive lighting assemblies
• General communications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm if it denotes a specific packaging variant, lead-free status, or tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact pin count and row configuration required for the target assembly. Cross-reference the PBT insulation material and UL94 V-0 rating with project safety standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 21-position straight male header is required for high-density board connections. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose electronics. Consider the through-hole mounting requirement and the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range. Verify that the automotive-grade applications listed align with the environmental conditions of the final product.

Part Context
