WG62SAD11SY342

Overview

The WG62SAD11SY342 is a rectangular MIL Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It is a board mount receptacle featuring socket contacts with a vertical through-hole termination style. The component has a 3-row configuration providing 62 positions at a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. Constructed with a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) plastic body and gold-plated copper alloy contacts, it supports a current rating of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. Operating temperatures range from -65 C to +125 C, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged reliability.
• Features a guide set and mounting ears for secure board alignment and stability.
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for durable electrical performance.

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• Aviation communication equipment
• Ruggedized industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '342' against official Molex documentation to confirm exact plating or material variations. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors in the same series. Confirm RoHS status and lead-free requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Validate pinout configurations before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this part for high-density interconnects requiring MIL-DTL-55302 compliance. The 3-row layout maximizes circuit count within a compact footprint. Verify that the 0.172-inch tail length fits the PCB thickness constraints. Ensure the 5 A current rating meets the load requirements of the application circuits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, designed for demanding environments. It serves as a receptacle counterpart to matching plugs, forming a two-part board connector system. The series is known for its robust construction and precise alignment features, suitable for critical signal and power transmission tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 62-position, 3-row, through-hole specification. Check for identical MIL-DTL-55302 compliance and contact gender. Verify physical dimensions and mounting ear placement to ensure mechanical interchangeability without redesigning the PCB.
