WTA10PD9J-D01

Overview

The AirBorn WTA10PD9J-D01 is a rectangular military specification connector from the W Series, designed as a board mount plug with pin contacts. It features a vertical through-hole termination style and dual row configuration with a 2.54 mm pitch. The unit provides 10 circuits within a plastic body constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Operating temperatures range from -65 C to +125 C. The connector complies with MIL-DTL-55302 standards and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes Polyphenylene Sulfide housing for thermal stability
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Supports vertical through-hole mounting without mounting ears

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring standardized interconnects
• Ruggedized electronic equipment operating in extreme temperatures
• Board-to-board connections in defense communication hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D01 against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm tail length and jackset dimensions. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles such as WTB series counterparts. Confirm RoHS status and lead-free compliance requirements prior to procurement, as manufacturing variations may exist across production batches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight, two-row plug with pin contacts is required for MIL-DTL-55302 applications. Verify that the 10-position count matches the circuit design. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole termination. Confirm that the operating environment stays within the specified temperature range of -65 C to +125 C.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors widely used in aerospace and defense industries. The series offers various contact counts and termination styles. The WTA prefix indicates a plug configuration, while the PD9J suffix specifies pin contacts with dip solder termination characteristics. This series is known for high-density interconnect solutions in harsh environments.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating parts include WTB series receptacles with matching position counts. Verify mechanical interface compatibility before substitution. Cross-reference with other manufacturers holding MIL-DTL-55302 qualifications if sourcing alternatives.
