WTAV50PD9JL

Overview

The WTAV50PD9JL is a rectangular MIL-spec connector plug from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features 50 positions arranged in two rows with male pin contacts. Designed for board mount installation, it utilizes through-hole termination and gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), supporting a 2.54 mm pitch and rated for 1 kV voltage and 5 A current. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +125 °C, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for rugged military applications
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulator material for thermal stability

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures operating in extreme environments
• Board-to-board connections in defense communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D01' or similar against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and environmental sealing ratings. Ensure mating receptacles are selected from the same W Series family to guarantee mechanical compatibility and proper contact engagement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with equivalent MIL-DTL-55302 designations for supply chain validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight, two-row plug configuration is required for panel or board mounting. Confirm that the 50-position count matches the circuit density needs. Verify that the through-hole soldering process aligns with the PCB assembly capabilities. Ensure the PPS housing material meets the thermal requirements of the operational environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for harsh environments. The series offers various contact counts and row configurations, standardized under MIL-DTL-55302. The WTAV50PD9JL specifically addresses high-pin-count applications within this ruggedized family, providing robust connectivity solutions for critical infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations
