Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '342' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact plating thickness or environmental compliance variations. Ensure mating parts are selected from the same W Series family to maintain mechanical interface integrity. Confirm RoHS status directly with the supplier as regulatory compliance details may vary by production batch.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring high-density connections in constrained spaces due to its right-angle form factor. The 3-row configuration allows for increased circuit density compared to 2-row alternatives. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the through-hole tail length and mounting ear dimensions specified in the datasheet.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for demanding environments. The series offers various contact arrangements and termination styles to support diverse system integration needs while adhering to stringent military specifications for durability and performance consistency.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include WG50SOR7JTB and WG50SAD7JTB-B82, provided mechanical fit and electrical characteristics align with system requirements.
