WG62PR9J

Overview

The WG62PR9J is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series connector manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features a right-angle plug configuration with 62 positions arranged in three rows. The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing. Designed for through-hole board mounting, it supports a wire gauge of 22 AWG. Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A, a voltage rating of 1 kV, and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The operating temperature range spans from -65 C to +125 C, with a contact spacing of 2.54 mm.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects.
• Features a right-angle plug design suitable for dense board-mounted applications.
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance and conductivity.

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring ruggedized interconnects
• Ground-based defense communication equipment
• Aerospace electronic control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm exact plating thickness and material variants. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same W Series family. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for specific environmental regulations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components. Validate that the right-angle orientation matches the mechanical constraints of the target PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, three-row connection is required in a constrained space. The right-angle form factor facilitates compact circuit board arrangements. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the load requirements of the application. Ensure the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with existing trace routing or mating connector standards. Consider the thermal limits of the PPS housing relative to the operational environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for demanding environments. The series offers various row counts and contact configurations to support diverse military and industrial needs. The WG62PR9J specifically addresses applications requiring robust performance under extreme temperatures and vibration.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating parts include WG62SD9J and WG62SD9SY receptacles from the same series. Substitutes must maintain the 62-position count and 2.54 mm pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns before integration.
