WTAX26SACSYL

Overview

The WTAX26SACSYL is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It is a board mount receptacle featuring 26 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The unit utilizes socket contacts with gold plating on copper alloy substrates and employs through-hole termination. Constructed with a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) plastic body, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C. Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it offers 5 GOhms insulation resistance.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for military-grade reliability
• Features removable socket contacts for flexible maintenance
• Utilizes high-performance PPS housing material
• Supports vertical board mounting configurations

Applications
