WG160SAD9SYFM

Overview

The WG160SAD9SYFM is a rectangular MIL Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features a board mount receptacle with socket contacts and through-hole termination. The component has 160 positions arranged in three rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it operates between -65 C and +125 C. The housing is made of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), and contacts are gold-plated copper alloy.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high reliability
• Utilizes a robust Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulating body
• Features gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts for stable conductivity

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• High-density board-to-board interconnects
• Ruggedized industrial control equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix FM against official datasheets to confirm exact polarization or guide set configurations. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs regarding row count and contact type. Confirm RoHS status and lead-free compliance requirements for your assembly process before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring high pin counts in a compact footprint. The three-row configuration maximizes density while maintaining standard 2.54 mm spacing. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the straight through-hole tail length and mounting ear dimensions specified in the mechanical drawings.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, designed for mission-critical environments. It offers a standardized interface compatible with other W Series connectors. The design emphasizes durability and consistent electrical performance under harsh thermal and mechanical conditions typical of defense and aerospace sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with M55302/58-B160X equivalents. Verify that substitute parts match the 160-position count, three-row arrangement, and 2.54 mm pitch. Ensure mating interfaces and polarization keys are identical to prevent installation errors.
