WTA44PCJ

Overview

The AirBorn WTA44PCJ is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the W Series, designed for board mounting applications. It features a straight plug configuration with 44 positions arranged in two rows. The contacts are male pins with gold plating, utilizing a solder cup termination method suitable for 22 AWG wire. Constructed with a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing and copper alloy contacts, it supports a current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Operating within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C, it adheres to a 2.54 mm pitch standard.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade rectangular construction compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards
• Gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing material for thermal stability
• Solder cup termination interface for secure wire attachment

Applications

• Aviation electronic systems requiring rugged interconnects
• Defense communication equipment interfaces
• Industrial control panel board mounting
• Harsh environment sensor connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact contact orientation and hardware variations. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding polarization and mounting ear configurations. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-55302 designation to validate military specification compliance before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight, board-mount plug with solder cup terminations is required for high-density wiring. The 44-position count and 2.54 mm pitch dictate the available circuit density. Confirm that the 5 A current rating and PPS material properties align with the operational thermal and electrical demands of the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors widely used in aerospace and defense sectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles to support diverse board-to-wire connectivity needs. The WTA44PCJ specifically addresses requirements for robust, straight-mounted plugs in constrained spaces.

Replacement Considerations
