WTA36SAD7JL

Overview

The WTA36SAD7JL is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series board mount receptacle manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features 36 positions arranged in a dual row with a 2.54 mm pitch. The component utilizes socket contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating, terminated via through-hole soldering. Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C. The housing is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged performance
• Features gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts for reliable conductivity
• Constructed with PPS plastic body for thermal stability
• Designed for vertical through-hole board mounting

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• Ruggedized industrial control boards
• Defense communication equipment interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix JL against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm jackset length and tail dimensions. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs regarding contact orientation and hardware standards. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier documentation prior to integration.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring high-density connections in constrained spaces. The 2.54 mm pitch allows for compact circuit board layouts. Verify that the 5 A rating meets the system's electrical load requirements and that the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, which offers various position counts and contact types. It serves as a receptacle counterpart to matching plugs within the same family, ensuring standardized interconnect solutions for demanding environments.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other WTA series receptacles with identical pin counts and pitch, such as WTA36PD7JL or WTA36PW34JL, provided the contact gender and termination style match the design requirements.
