WT16SACCD

Overview

The WT16SACCD is a rectangular MIL Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features a straight receptacle design with 16 positions and a single row configuration. The component utilizes solder cup termination for PCB mounting and incorporates gold-plated copper alloy sockets. Constructed with 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. The unit maintains a 2.54 mm pitch and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Straight panel-mount receptacle geometry for direct I/O integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene Sulfide housing provides thermal stability

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• Aviation instrumentation interfaces
• Industrial control panel connections

Procurement Notes

Verify specific ordering suffixes against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact contact plating thickness and housing variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer as regulatory requirements may vary by production batch. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors in the same series before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring high-reliability rectangular interconnects in harsh environments. The 2.54 mm pitch suits standard board layouts, while the PPS material handles elevated temperatures. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets circuit demands and that the straight orientation fits the mechanical enclosure constraints.

Part Context
