AW140-EG-Z29C2

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z29C2 is a pin header connector from the AW140 series manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features a single row with 29 positions and a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector supports a voltage rating of 250V and a current rating of 3A. Constructed with brass contacts gold-plated for conductivity, it utilizes polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing material. Designed for through-hole installation, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-row pin header configuration designed for board-to-board connections
• Gold-plated brass contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing provides thermal stability
• Through-hole mounting with solder termination for secure PCB attachment

Applications

• General electronic circuit interconnections
• Industrial control system modules
• Consumer electronics assembly
• Communication equipment interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact position count and housing color against the specific suffix code in the manufacturer's official datasheet. Confirm that the terminal type matches the required through-hole soldering process. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 29-position header is required for direct board-to-board interfacing. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose electronics. Consider the 3A current rating and 250V voltage limit to ensure compliance with circuit design constraints. Verify compatibility with mating socket connectors from the same or compatible series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series of pin headers from Assmann WSW Components. The series offers various position counts and configurations for standard flat cable and board applications. The AW140 line is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for high-density interconnects in various electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 29-position, 2.54mm pitch pin headers from Assmann WSW such as AW140-EG-G29C2 or AW140-EG-Z24C2 variants, provided mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings are identical. Cross-manufacturer replacements require verification of footprint and contact plating.
