WGV80PD9SY-1

Overview

The WGV80PD9SY-1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series connector manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features an 80-position, 3-row plug configuration with straight board mount installation. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy pins designed for through-hole termination. Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +125 °C. The housing utilizes Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) material, providing high insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The component supports 22 AWG wire gauge with a 2.54 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability applications
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts for durable signal transmission
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide housing for thermal stability
• Designed for secure board mounting with straight orientation

Applications

• Avionics control systems
• Military communication equipment
• Radar and electronic warfare systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SY-1' against official Molex/AirBorn datasheets to confirm exact plating thickness or environmental sealing variations compared to standard SY variants. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same W Series family. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's certificate before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this model for high-density interconnects requiring strict adherence to military standards. The 3-row layout maximizes contact count within a compact footprint. Verify that the through-hole termination method aligns with the target PCB fabrication capabilities. Ensure the operating environment remains 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 engineered for mission-critical environments. The series is characterized by its rugged construction and compliance with stringent military standards. These connectors are widely utilized in aerospace and defense sectors where reliability under extreme conditions is paramount.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other MIL-DTL-55302 compliant plugs with identical 80-position, 3-row configurations. Cross-reference part numbers such as WGV80PD9J or WGV80PF6J if mechanical mounting differences are acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch and gold-plated pin specifications.
