WTA66SACJTL

Overview

The WTA66SACJTL is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 qualified connector from the AirBorn W Series. It features 66 positions in a dual-row configuration with socket contacts. The component utilizes a solder cup termination style for board mounting and operates at a 2.54 mm pitch. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it supports a current rating of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. The housing is made of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), enabling operation between -65 C and +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability applications
• Features gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts for corrosion resistance
• Utilizes Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing material for thermal stability

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• Ruggedized industrial control panels
• High-reliability board-to-board interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix JTL against procurement requirements to ensure correct contact type and termination method. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Cross-reference the M55302/63A66L alias if sourcing from legacy distributors. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs within the same W Series family.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring 66 circuits with a 2.54 mm pitch. The straight installation angle and solder cup termination are suitable for vertical board mounting. Verify that the 5 A current rating per contact meets system load requirements. Consider the PPS housing material for environments exceeding standard plastic temperature limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of ruggedized connectors designed for demanding environments. The series offers various position counts and contact configurations while maintaining strict adherence to MIL-DTL-55302 standards. The WTA66SACJTL specifically provides a dual-row socket solution for high-density interconnect needs.

Replacement Considerations

The part number alias M55302/63A66L represents the same component under the military specification designation. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings when substituting with generic MIL-DTL-55302 equivalents to ensure functional compatibility.
