WTAX24SACJTA

Overview

The WTAX24SACJTA is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features a 2-row receptacle configuration with 24 positions and a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed for PCB mount applications, it utilizes solder cup termination with gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it operates between -65 C and +125 C with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for military-grade reliability
• Utilizes PPS housing material for thermal stability
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures
• Defense communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm contact orientation and plating thickness. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs within the same W Series family. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer certificates prior to integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for high-density board-to-board connections requiring strict environmental resilience. The straight receptacle design suits panel or chassis mounting where space constraints dictate a compact footprint. Verify that the 22 AWG wire gauge capability aligns with system wiring requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for mission-critical applications. The series offers various contact counts and termination options, maintaining consistent form factors across different configurations to simplify supply chain management for defense and aerospace projects.
