WGV80PD9J

Overview

The WGV80PD9J is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It is a straight plug designed for board mount installation with 80 positions arranged in 3 rows. The component features gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) shell. Electrical specifications include a 5 A current rating, 1 kV voltage rating, and 5 GOhms insulation resistance. It operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole termination for 22 AWG wire.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military standards for rugged performance
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Constructed with polyphenylene sulfide housing for thermal stability

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized electronic equipment
• Board-to-board interconnects requiring high density

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and revision level against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure compatibility with mating receptacles. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or Molex, as availability may vary. Ensure the ordering information matches the required contact plating and terminal type specifications for your application.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring a high-density 80-position connection in a compact three-row configuration. The straight plug design suits direct board mounting scenarios. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch when designing PCB footprints. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -65 C to +125 C temperature range and that the 1 kV voltage rating meets system requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors known for meeting stringent military specifications. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse interconnect needs in demanding environments. The WGV80PD9J specifically addresses the need for robust, high-pin-count connections in space-constrained military and industrial assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other W Series plugs having identical 80-position, 3-row, straight, through-hole specifications. Ensure mating receptacles share compatible shell sizes and contact arrangements. Verify that any substitute maintains the same MIL-DTL-55302 compliance and electrical ratings.
