AW140-EG-Z37F

Overview

The AW140-EG-Z37F is a board connector manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. It features 37 contacts arranged in a single row with a male configuration. The connector utilizes a straight orientation and employs a 0.1-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. Termination is achieved through solder terminals designed for through-hole mounting. The component includes locking mechanisms to ensure secure connection stability during operation.

Feature Summary

• Straight male header configuration for direct board-to-board or cable connections
• Through-hole solder termination method ensuring robust mechanical attachment
• Integrated locking feature to maintain secure mating interface integrity

Applications

• Automotive body electronics systems
• Communications equipment interfaces
• Datacom module interconnections
• Personal electronics assemblies
• Connected peripherals and printers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm contact count, pitch, and termination style match project requirements. Ensure that the through-hole footprint dimensions align with the printed circuit board layout. Confirm that the locking mechanism type is compatible with the mating connector housing or PCB constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 37-position straight male header is required for through-hole assembly. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose interconnects. Consider the locking feature if vibration resistance or secure mating is critical. Verify current ratings and voltage specifications against the system design limits to ensure reliable electrical performance within the intended application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AW140 series of board connectors from Assmann WSW Components. The series offers various contact counts and configurations for different interconnect needs. The AW140-EG-Z37F specifically provides a high-density option with 37 positions. It is designed for applications requiring reliable through-hole connections with secure locking features in electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 37-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, straight orientation, and through-hole termination. Verify that any alternative component maintains the same locking mechanism type and physical footprint dimensions. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official cross-reference lists for confirmed equivalent parts.
