WTAV40PD11SYL

Overview

The WTAV40PD11SYL is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series connector manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features a 40-position, 2-row plug configuration with male pin contacts. Designed for board mount installation, it utilizes through-hole termination and gold-plated copper alloy contacts on a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) body. The component operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C, supports a current rating of 5 A, and withstands up to 1 kV voltage. It maintains an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms with a 2.54 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for durable electrical performance
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide housing for thermal stability
• Supports vertical through-hole board mounting without mounting ears

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• Defense communication equipment
• Space sector instrumentation
• High-reliability industrial control boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix SYL against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm plating thickness and material composition details. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same W Series family. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's certificate before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring standardized 2.54 mm pitch connections in constrained board spaces. The straight plug design suits vertical PCB orientations. Verify that the 5 A current rating aligns with circuit load requirements and that the operating temperature range covers the environmental conditions of the final assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, which provides high-density interconnect solutions for commercial aerospace, defense, and space sectors. Following Molex's acquisition, the product line continues under Molex branding while maintaining original part numbers and engineering specifications for seamless transition and support.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other MIL-DTL-55302 compliant plugs with identical 40-position, 2-row configurations. Cross-reference mating receptacles such as WTA40SAD11SYL or equivalent variants within the W Series family to ensure mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.
