WT9SAD9

Overview

The AirBorn WT9SAD9 is a rectangular MIL-Spec receptacle connector from the W Series, designed for board mount applications. It features a straight orientation with through-hole termination and socket contacts. The unit provides 9 positions across two rows 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 a voltage rating of 1 kV. The component operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +125 °C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy sockets for durable signal transmission
• Engineered with PPS housing material for thermal stability and chemical resistance

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring certified MIL-spec connectivity
• Military communication equipment interfaces
• High-density electronic assemblies in defense platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with mating headers and mounting requirements. Confirm that the procurement source provides valid traceability documentation and compliance certificates required for military-grade components. Cross-reference the part number alias M55302/58-B9F when sourcing equivalents or validating inventory records.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding strict adherence to MIL-DTL-55302 standards with a 9-position dual-row layout. Ensure the design accommodates the 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole assembly process. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -65 °C to +125 °C range and that the 5 A current capacity meets circuit requirements.

Part Context

This receptacle belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors known for high reliability in harsh environments. The series typically includes various position counts and termination styles, all sharing common mechanical and electrical characteristics defined by the MIL-DTL-55302 specification. This specific model represents a standard straight-mount variant within that family.

Replacement Considerations

The part number alias M55302/58-B9F serves as a direct cross-reference identifier. When evaluating substitutes, prioritize components explicitly listed as compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 and matching the 9-position, 2-row, through-hole configuration.
