AWHW-254-26-PP2

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The AWHW-254-26-PP2 is a male header connector from the AWHW series by Assmann WSW Components. It features 26 positions with a 2.54 mm pitch arranged in two rows. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes a straight orientation and solder termination. The contacts are made of brass with flash gold plating on the mating area and tin over nickel on the tails. The insulator is constructed from glass-filled polyamide (PA9T) meeting UL94 V-0 flammability standards. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and supports a current rating of 3A.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features a shrouded design with keyway slots to ensure correct polarization during mating.
• Utilizes long latch/lock hooks for secure mechanical retention between header and cable assemblies.
• Employs square contact shapes to maintain alignment and prevent rotation within the housing.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-cable interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic equipment internal wiring

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to confirm latch length and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating cables regarding pitch and row count. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your assembly process. Cross-reference part numbers carefully as variations exist within the AWHW family.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 26-position, 2-row male header is required for rigid board-to-cable applications. The 2.54 mm pitch suits standard ribbon cable or wire harness implementations. Consider the through-hole mounting requirement and operating temperature limits. Verify that the shrouded design aligns with spatial constraints and polarity needs.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the AWHW series of low-profile headers designed for reliable signal transmission. The series offers various position counts and latch options to accommodate diverse assembly requirements. Assmann WSW Components manufactures these connectors using high-quality thermoplastics and precision metal contacts.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

AWHW-254-26-RP12 serves as a confirmed substitute variant within the same series, differing primarily in latch length specifications while maintaining identical electrical and dimensional parameters for the 26-position configuration.
