WTAV36PD11JL443-36

Overview

The WTAV36PD11JL443-36 is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features a straight plug housing with 36 positions arranged in two rows and utilizes solder cup termination for wire connections. The contacts are male pins made of copper alloy with gold plating, designed for a 2.54 mm pitch. Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +125 °C. The housing is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing high insulation resistance.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards
• Gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene sulfide housing material for thermal stability

Applications

• Aerospace avionics systems
• Military communication equipment
• Ruggedized electronic interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with mating receptacles. Confirm that the solder cup termination style matches the intended wiring harness specifications. Check for RoHS compliance status as required by project regulations. Ensure environmental sealing requirements are met if operating in harsh conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight-mount cable-to-board or panel connection is required in space-constrained military applications. The 36-position density suits moderate signal routing needs. Verify that the 5 A current rating aligns with circuit load requirements. Consider the PPS housing durability for environments exceeding standard commercial temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of high-reliability rectangular connectors designed for mission-critical applications. The series offers various contact counts and termination options, maintaining consistent interface dimensions across models to facilitate system integration and maintenance in defense and aerospace platforms.

Replacement Considerations

M55302/63A36H is a confirmed equivalent part number for this component. Cross-reference mechanical drawings to verify mounting hole patterns and shell size compatibility before substitution.
