WTA44SAD9JL

Overview

The WTA44SAD9JL is a rectangular board mount receptacle from the AirBorn W Series, designed for high-reliability interconnect applications. It features 44 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) contact pitch. The component utilizes socket contacts and is terminated via vertical through-hole soldering. Constructed with a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) plastic body, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C and supports a current rating of 5 A per contact.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for rugged environments
• Dual-row receptacle design with fixed jackset configuration for secure mating
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Vertical board mount orientation without mounting ears

Applications

• Avionics control and display systems
• Spacecraft and satellite electronics
• Missile guidance and electronic warfare equipment
• Shipboard communication networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix JL against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm terminal length and jackset specifications. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding male plug series, such as WTA44PD11JTC or similar variants, based on the required contact type and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 44-position female receptacle is required for direct PCB mounting. The 2.54 mm pitch suits standard density layouts. Verify that the mating environment requires MIL-DTL-55302 performance levels. Consider the PPS housing material for thermal stability up to 125°C during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors widely used in aerospace and defense sectors. The series offers various contact counts and termination options, standardized under military specifications to ensure interchangeability and reliability in mission-critical platforms.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other WTA-series receptacles with identical pin counts and pitch, such as WTA44SAD9JTC, provided the tail length and jackset variations are acceptable for the mechanical assembly.
