WTA24PD9JTB

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The WTA24PD9JTB is a rectangular MIL Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It is a straight plug designed for board mount installation with through-hole termination. The component features 24 positions arranged in two rows with male pin contacts. Key electrical parameters include a current rating of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. The insulation resistance is specified at 5 GOhms. The pitch spacing is 2.54 mm (0.100 inch). The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), and contacts are copper alloy with gold plating. The operating temperature range spans from -65 C to +125 C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged reliability.
• Utilizes hex turning jackset mechanism for secure mating engagement.
• Features gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts for low contact resistance.
• Designed with a straight orientation for direct board mounting applications.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Defense communication equipment
• Rugged industrial control interfaces

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix JTB corresponds to the required dip solder terminal style and jackset configuration. Confirm compatibility with the intended PCB layout for through-hole assembly. Ensure environmental ratings meet the operational temperature extremes of the target application. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-55302 compliance requirements with system specifications before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a 24-position, two-row straight plug is required for board-to-board or cable-to-board connections in harsh environments. The 2.54 mm pitch allows for standard density interconnects. Consider the PPS housing material for thermal stability and the gold contact finish for corrosion resistance. Verify that the 5 A current rating suffices for the circuit load requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn WTA series, which offers versatile rectangular connectors for aerospace and defense sectors. The series supports various contact counts and termination styles. The WTA designation indicates a two-row straight plug without mounting ears, distinguishing it from receptacle or panel-mount variants within the same family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include WTA24PD7JL and WTBV24PD7J-B82, which share similar 24-position, two-row configurations and MIL-DTL-55302 compliance. Verify terminal type differences, as some alternatives may use solder cup or different jackset mechanisms instead of the dip solder style found in the JTB variant.
