WGV62PD9J

Overview

The AirBorn WGV62PD9J is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the W Series, designed for board mount applications. It features a straight plug configuration with pin contacts and through-hole termination. The unit provides 62 positions across three rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. Constructed with a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) body and copper alloy gold-plated contacts, it supports 5 A current and 1 kV voltage ratings. Operating temperatures range from -65 C to +125 C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for military-grade performance
• Utilizes durable Polyphenylene Sulfide housing material
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for conductivity
• Supports high-density interconnects via three-row layout

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Radar equipment interfaces
• Electronic warfare control units
• Spacecraft communication arrays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact contact orientation and mounting variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer as regulatory requirements may vary by production batch. Ensure mating receptacles are selected from the same W Series family to maintain mechanical integrity and electrical continuity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, three-row male connector is required for vertical PCB mounting. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with the target circuit board design. Consider the 5 A current rating per contact when calculating thermal management requirements for the specific application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors engineered for rugged defense and aerospace applications. The series emphasizes high density and reliable signal transmission in harsh conditions. The WGV variant specifically denotes a straight plug configuration within this standardized military specification framework.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include WG62PR9J for right-angle configurations and WGV62PD7JTB-D01 for variants with mounting ears. Verify physical dimensions and terminal tail lengths before substitution to ensure proper fit within the assembly constraints.
