WTA14PCJTA*DAP

Overview

The WTA14PCJTA*DAP is a rectangular MIL Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, designed for board-to-board or cable-to-board applications. It features a straight plug configuration with 14 contacts arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes solder cup termination for secure PCB mounting and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C. Key electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A, a voltage rating of 1 kV, and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), and the contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a 2.54 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for military-grade reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity
• Features PPS insulation material for thermal stability
• Supports solder cup termination for robust board mounting

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• High-reliability industrial control boards
• Aviation communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix *DAP against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact plating thickness or environmental sealing characteristics, as suffixes often denote specific manufacturing variations. Ensure mating parts match the 14-position, 2-row straight plug configuration. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-55302 compliance requirements with your system's environmental constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a MIL-Spec compliant, high-density interconnect is required for harsh environments. The 14-contact capacity and 2.54 mm pitch suit compact designs needing reliable signal transmission. Consider the -65°C to +125°C operating range for extreme temperature applications. Verify that the solder cup termination method aligns with your assembly process capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors known for high density and reliability. The series offers various contact counts and configurations, including plugs and receptacles. The WTA designation specifically indicates a 2-row, straight plug without mounting ears, providing flexibility for space-constrained board layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include parts with identical MIL-DTL-55302 compliance and matching pinout geometry. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer compatible solder cup terminations and equivalent thermal ratings. Ensure the replacement maintains the 14-position, 2-row layout to fit existing PCB footprints.
