AW 127-26/Z-T

The AW 127-26/Z-T is a versatile socket for ICs, transistors, fuses, and other circuit components. It is designed to eliminate the need for direct wiring, meaning that the components can be changed efficiently and quickly. The AW 127-26/Z-T also offers enhanced protection against vibration and shock.

The AW 127-26/Z-T socket is compatible with all types of SPDT and SPST switches and ICs with at least one row of pins. It is ideal for use in automation applications, instrumentation, and industrial control. It is also available with an optional adaptor base allowing it to be connected to J-type pins for improved reliability. The AW 127-26/Z-T can support up to 150 volts and carries a wide range of current ratings.

Working principle of the AW 127-26/Z-T socket is fairly simple. The socket fits into a board and includes two-piece contacts. The contact pieces are permanently connected in series, which allows a current to flow from one side to the other so that the electrical circuit is established. A single contact is connected to a socket pin on the board, while the other contact is connected to the other side. This connection is permanent and cannot be changed.

The AW 127-26/Z-T socket also features a unique locking mechanism that helps keep the contacts in place. This locking mechanism can be released by pressing a button on the back of the socket. This prevents accidental disconnection of the socket. A wide variety of locking mechanisms are available, including quick-release clips, hex nuts, and captive screws.

Once the socket is locked, the contacts can be connected to the circuit board by soldering, crimping, or press-fitting the contacts into place. The socket can then be securely mounted to the board with screws. As with any electronic component, the socket should be handled carefully to ensure that it works correctly.

In short, the AW 127-26/Z-T socket is ideal for use in industrial control, instrumentation, and automation applications. It is available with a variety of locking mechanisms to ensure the contacts remain in place and offers a reliable way to quickly connect and disconnect components from a circuit board. The contacts are easy to connect with typical soldering, crimping, or press-fitting tools.
