WT10PRD8

Overview

The AirBorn WT10PRD8 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 utilizes through-hole termination. The component accommodates 10 positions arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm pitch. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing, it supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade reliability compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure stable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene sulfide housing provides thermal stability

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring high-reliability interconnects
• Radar and communication equipment installations
• Defense electronics and mission-critical control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact contact orientation and mounting variations. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same W Series family. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material declarations prior to final procurement approval.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring a single-row, straight-mount plug with through-hole termination. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch and 10-position count match the PCB layout requirements. Ensure the system voltage does not exceed the rated limits defined in the official specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors engineered for harsh environments. The series offers various configurations including dual-row and right-angle options, all sharing common interface standards and material properties for interchangeability within military and aerospace designs.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other W Series plugs such as WT10PRD7 or WTB10PR9J, provided they match the required row count, termination type, and contact gender. Always verify mechanical dimensions and mating interface compatibility before substitution.
