WT9PRD8

Overview

The WT9PRD8 is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, compliant with MIL-DTL-55302. It features a single row of 9 gold-plated copper alloy male pins with a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed for board mount via through-hole termination, it operates at up to 1 kV and 5 A. The housing is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), supporting right-angle installation across a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade reliability conforming to MIL-DTL-55302 standards
• Gold-plated contacts ensure stable signal transmission
• Right-angle board mount configuration for space-efficient layouts

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring rugged interconnects
• Military communication equipment
• Industrial control panels in harsh environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact contact orientation and plating thickness. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating connectors within the W Series family before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when MIL-DTL-55302 compliance is mandatory. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch and 9-position count for circuit density requirements. Verify that the 5 A current rating and 1 kV voltage withstand meet system specifications.

Part Context

AirBorn, now part of Molex, specializes in high-reliability connectors. The W Series offers robust solutions for demanding applications. This model represents a standard pin header variant within their military specification portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-reference part numbers from Molex/AirBorn or qualified second-source manufacturers listed in the official datasheet. Ensure mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings match exactly.
