WTAX24SAF3JTA-B82

Overview

The WTAX24SAF3JTA-B82 is a rectangular MIL-Spec receptacle from the AirBorn W Series. It features 24 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy sockets for termination via solder on PCBs. Rated for 5 A current, it operates between -65°C and +125°C. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Designed for straight mounting, it supports 22 AWG wire gauges.

Feature Summary

• Termination face sealed against conformal coating
• Gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• High-temperature resistant PPS housing material

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized industrial control panels
• Aviation communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix B82 to confirm the conformal coating seal feature. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating connectors within the W-Series family. Confirm that the straight mount style aligns with chassis or panel requirements. Validate environmental ratings against operational temperature extremes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 24-position MIL-Spec solution is required. The B82 suffix is critical for applications involving conformal coating protection. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch for standard trace spacing. Evaluate the 5 A rating against total load requirements across all active pins simultaneously.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, known for high-reliability board-to-board and cable connections. The series is widely used in defense and aerospace sectors due to its robust mechanical design and strict adherence to military specifications. The WTAX variant specifically denotes a receptacle configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 24-position, 2-row, 2.54 mm pitch specification. Verify if alternative parts offer the same B82 conformal coating seal. Cross-reference pinout configurations to ensure electrical continuity without modification.
