WT6PD9

Overview

The WT6PD9 is a rectangular MIL Spec connector plug from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features 6 positions arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed for board mount installation, it utilizes through-hole termination and gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A, a voltage rating of 1 kV, and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. It operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C and supports 22 AWG wire.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military standards for rugged reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for durable signal transmission
• Features PPS housing material for thermal stability

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized electronic equipment
• Board-to-board interconnects requiring MIL-Spec compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer ordering requirements directly with Molex or AirBorn before procurement. Confirm RoHS status details as indicated in official documentation. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same W Series family. Check for any specific environmental certifications required for your application. Validate that the straight plug configuration meets your mechanical layout constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, straight-mount plug is required for MIL-DTL-55302 applications. Ensure the circuit design requires only six positions. Verify that the 5 A current rating and 1 kV voltage rating are sufficient for the load. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style fits the PCB fabrication capabilities. Check that the operating temperature range covers the intended environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, which offers various configurations including right-angle plugs and receptacles. The series provides options for different contact counts ranging from 3 to 22 positions per row. Other variants include different termination styles such as solder cup or flex-circuit connections. The WT6PD9 specifically addresses the need for a compact, high-reliability straight plug solution.

Replacement Considerations

The part number alias M55302/63B6X may be used interchangeably depending on the source documentation. Verify exact dimensional tolerances and mating interface compatibility when substituting with other manufacturers' MIL-DTL-55302 equivalents.
