WTA40PCJTB

Overview

The AirBorn WTA40PCJTB is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series connector from the W Series. It features 40 positions arranged in two rows with straight pin contacts. The component utilizes solder cup termination and panel mount installation. Constructed with beryllium copper contacts and polyphenylene sulfide housing, it supports a current rating of 5 A and operates between -65 C and +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged environments
• Features gold-plated beryllium copper contacts for reliable conductivity
• Designed for secure panel mounting with straight orientation

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized ground support equipment
• Defense communication hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact contact plating thickness. Confirm that the solder cup termination matches your cable preparation requirements. Ensure the panel cutout dimensions align with the official mechanical drawing for proper fitment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 40-position high-density interconnect is required within a MIL-DTL-55302 framework. The solder cup termination is suitable for direct cable attachment rather than PCB mounting. Verify environmental sealing needs as this specific plug variant may require separate seals for full ingress protection.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, which provides versatile interconnect solutions for demanding applications. The series offers various contact counts and termination options while maintaining strict adherence to military performance standards for vibration and shock resistance.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating receptacles include WTA40SAW40JTB or equivalent MIL-DTL-55302 Class K receptacles with matching 40-position layouts. Ensure the counterpart uses compatible socket contacts and similar housing materials for optimal interface integrity.
