WTA10PD9JL

Overview

The AirBorn WTA10PD9JL is a rectangular military specification connector plug from the W Series. It features 10 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. The component utilizes male pin contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating, terminated via through-hole dip soldering. Designed for board mounting in a straight orientation, it operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +125 °C. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing high insulation resistance and compliance with MIL-DTL-55302 standards.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for durable signal transmission
• Features a PPS housing suitable for demanding thermal environments

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized electronic equipment
• Defense communication hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for the WTA10PD9JL to confirm current manufacturing status and RoHS compliance details. Ensure that mating receptacles are selected from the compatible W Series lineup to guarantee proper interface alignment and mechanical fit. Cross-reference official Molex/AirBorn documentation for any updated ordering suffixes or environmental certifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a low-count, high-reliability interconnect is required for board-to-board applications. The 10-position configuration suits compact designs needing robust connections. Verify that the circuit requirements align with the standard 5 A rating and 1 kV voltage capability. Confirm that the straight through-hole termination method matches the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors designed for harsh environments. The series offers various contact counts and termination options while maintaining consistent MIL-DTL-55302 performance characteristics. The WTA prefix identifies the unit as a straight plug without mounting ears, distinguishing it from other form factors within the same product line.
