Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DAP' or standard designation against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to ensure correct contact plating and housing variations. Confirm that the right-angle through-hole termination matches the target PCB layout requirements. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-55302 compliance status with the latest manufacturer datasheets prior to final procurement authorization.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a ruggedized, dual-row male connector is required for space-constrained right-angle PCB interfaces. Ensure the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with existing board patterns. Validate that the 5 A current rating and PPS thermal stability meet the operational environment demands. Consider mating receptacle compatibility within the same W Series family.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of high-performance interconnect solutions designed for demanding environments. As a Molex company, AirBorn specializes in connectors for aerospace and defense sectors.
