Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official Molex/AirBorn documentation before procurement. Confirm that the suffix D01 corresponds to the specific mounting ear configuration and hex turning jackset requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same W Series family. Check for any recent engineering change notices affecting the PPS material or contact plating specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a straight, board-mount plug with through-hole pins is required for high-reliability applications. The 50-position, 3-row configuration suits dense interconnect needs. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the specific tail length and mounting ear dimensions. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -65°C to +125°C range for optimal performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for harsh environments. The series offers various configurations including plugs and receptacles with different row counts and termination styles. The WGV50PD7JTB-D01 specifically addresses the need for robust, board-mounted interconnections in defense and aerospace sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating parts include WG50SOR7JTB and similar W Series receptacles. Verify mechanical fit and electrical continuity with existing system designs before substitution.
