WTA40PD11JL

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The WTA40PD11JL is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features 40 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed as a straight board mount plug, it utilizes solder termination and male pin contacts. The unit employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) body. Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. Operating temperatures range from -65 C to +125 C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for military-grade reliability
• Fixed jackset long configuration without mounting ears
• Gold-plated contacts ensure stable signal transmission

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized industrial control boards
• Defense communication equipment

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Molex or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the fixed jackset design aligns with mechanical constraints. Ensure mating connectors match the specified contact type and row configuration to prevent interface incompatibility during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, dual-row interconnect is required for harsh environments. The 1 kV rating supports high-voltage applications within the series. Verify that the straight orientation and through-hole soldering method fit the PCB layout. Consider the PPS material properties for thermal stability requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for demanding applications. The series offers various position counts and contact configurations. The WTA designation indicates a straight plug variant without mounting ears, distinguishing it from receptacles or angled versions within the same family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other WTA series variants for different contact counts. Ensure substitute parts maintain the 2.54 mm pitch and MIL-DTL-55302 compliance. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 1 kV voltage rating and operating temperature range.
