WTAV40PD7SYL

Overview

The WTAV40PD7SYL is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series connector manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features a two-row straight plug configuration with 40 positions and male pin contacts. The component utilizes through-hole termination on a copper alloy substrate with gold plating. Designed for board mount installation, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C. Key electrical ratings include a 5 A current capacity and 1 kV voltage rating. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms at 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 signal transmission
• Features PPS housing material for thermal stability and chemical resistance

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring ruggedized board-to-board connections
• Defense communication equipment operating in extreme environmental conditions
• High-density electronic assemblies needing standardized MIL-spec interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct contact type and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier as regulatory requirements may vary by production batch. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-55302 designation to validate compatibility with existing mating receptacles in your design architecture.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40-position straight plug is required for rigid PCB mounting applications. Ensure the mating receptacle shares the same 2.54 mm pitch and row configuration. Verify that the operational environment stays within the specified -65°C to +125°C range to maintain insulation integrity and contact performance standards.
