WT6PRD8

Overview

The AirBorn WT6PRD8 is a rectangular MIL-spec connector plug from the W Series, designed for board mount applications. It features a single row with six positions and utilizes right-angle termination. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy pins rated for 5 A current. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Electrical specifications include an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms and an operating temperature range from -65 C to +125 C. The contact pitch is 2.54 mm.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle board mount configuration for space-constrained PCB layouts
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing provides thermal stability

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Ruggedized electronic equipment operating in extreme temperatures
• Board-to-board connections in mission-critical aerospace platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact plating thickness requirements. Ensure mating receptacles match the W Series right-angle pin configuration. Confirm that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with the target PCB footprint design before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle plug is required for a six-position interface. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements. Ensure the -65 C to +125 C temperature range covers the operational environment. Confirm compatibility with corresponding W Series receptacles for proper mating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, which offers one-row configurations with contact counts ranging from three to twenty-two. The series supports various termination styles including straight and right-angle options. These connectors are engineered for high-reliability applications demanding robust mechanical performance and consistent electrical continuity under harsh conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include other W Series plugs with matching position counts and termination angles. Verify that any alternative part maintains the identical 2.54 mm pitch and right-angle orientation to ensure physical compatibility with existing board mounts.
