WG50SAD9JTB

Overview

The WG50SAD9JTB is a rectangular MIL-spec receptacle from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features 50 positions arranged in three rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed for board mount installation, it utilizes through-hole termination and gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), supporting a voltage rating of 1 kV and a current rating of 5 A per contact. It operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +125 °C and complies with MIL-DTL-55302 standards.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts for stable signal transmission
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing for thermal stability

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures operating in extreme temperatures
• Defense communication equipment interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D01' or absence thereof against official Molex documentation to confirm exact tail length and jackset configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs regarding polarization and guide sets. Confirm RoHS status as datasheets may vary by production batch. Validate that the straight mounting angle aligns with PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50-position, 3-row receptacle is required for vertical board mounting. Ensure the application supports through-hole soldering processes. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch matches the mating connector footprint. Consider the PPS material properties if high-temperature soldering or operation near +125 °C is anticipated. Confirm that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of high-performance rectangular connectors designed for demanding environments. The series offers various configurations including different row counts and termination styles. The WG50SAD9JTB specifically addresses needs for high-density I/O in space-constrained military and industrial applications where robust mechanical and electrical performance is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with M55302/58-B50F equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution.
