WTA14PCJTC

Overview

The AirBorn WTA14PCJTC is a rectangular MIL-Spec board connector from the W Series, designed for high-reliability interconnect applications. This plug variant features 14 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. It utilizes straight pin contacts with solder cup termination and gold plating on copper alloy conductors. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), supporting a voltage rating of 1 kV and current capacity of 5 A. Operating within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C, it meets MIL-DTL-55302 standards.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged environmental performance
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Utilizes durable Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulation for thermal stability
• Supports standard solder cup termination for secure PCB mounting

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring certified interconnects
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures for defense applications
• High-reliability industrial control boards
• Aerospace instrumentation panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact type and orientation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required MIL-DTL-55302 compliance level. Cross-reference the Mouser catalog identifier 479-WTA14PCJTA for accurate sourcing. Confirm RoHS status and lead times directly with authorized distributors prior to purchase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 14-position straight plug with solder cup termination is required. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with the PCB footprint design. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -65 C to +125 C range. Confirm compatibility with mating receptacles from the same WTA series family.
