WTA24PCJTA

Overview

The WTA24PCJTA is a rectangular MIL Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It functions as a straight plug with 24 positions arranged in two rows. The component utilizes solder cup termination and board mount installation style. Contacts are male pins made of copper alloy with gold plating. It operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C. Key electrical ratings include a current capacity of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. The insulation resistance is 5 GOhms. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). The contact spacing is 2.54 mm, and it supports wire gauges up to 22 AWG.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects.
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance and stable signal transmission.
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing for thermal stability and durability.

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems requiring rugged connectivity.
• Board-to-board or panel-mount interfaces in harsh environments.
• Industrial equipment needing reliable signal and power distribution.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with mating receptacles and mounting requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Ensure that the solder cup termination method aligns with the intended PCB assembly process and that the 24-position layout matches the design footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a straight, board-mount plug with solder cup terminations is required for a 24-circuit interface. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch and 5 A current rating for circuit design constraints. Verify that the operating temperature range of -65 C to +125 C meets environmental demands. Compare against other W Series variants if different termination styles or contact counts are needed.
