WG62SAD7J-D54

Overview

The WG62SAD7J-D54 is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It is a receptacle featuring 62 positions arranged in three rows with socket contacts. The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy terminals and a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing. Designed for through-hole board mount installation, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C. Key electrical ratings include a current capacity of 5 A per contact and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards
• High-density interconnect capability with 62 circuits in a compact form factor
• Durable PPS housing material providing thermal stability
• Gold-plated contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission

Applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D54 against official datasheets to confirm tail length and jackset specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs regarding mounting ears and orientation. Confirm RoHS compliance status for your region. Validate that the 3-row configuration matches your PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 62-position, 3-row receptacle is required for space-constrained military applications. Compare against other W Series variants if different row counts or contact genders are needed. Ensure the through-hole termination method aligns with your assembly process. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors designed for harsh environments. The series offers various configurations including plugs and receptacles with pin or socket contacts. These connectors are widely used in defense and aerospace sectors due to their robust mechanical design and consistent performance under extreme conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references within the Molex/AirBorn catalog. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility with existing mating parts. Ensure mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns match the current assembly to avoid redesign.
