WTB36SACJT

Overview

The WTB36SACJT is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It is a board mount receptacle featuring 36 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts and solder cup termination for PCB mounting. Constructed with a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing, it operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +125 °C. Rated for 5 A current and 5 GOhms insulation resistance, this straight-mount connector supports 22 AWG wire gauges.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards
• Gold-plated copper alloy female contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulating body for thermal stability

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Radar and electronic warfare equipment
• Mission-critical military communication platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact termination style and mounting configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs regarding contact gender and orientation. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's certificate before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring a straight-mount receptacle with solder cup terminations. Verify that the mating plug corresponds to the WTA series configuration. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 2-row, 36-position footprint and the specified tail length requirements for proper soldering.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, designed for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The series offers various configurations including straight and right-angle mounts with different termination options. It is engineered for harsh environments where consistent performance under vibration and thermal stress is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other WTB36 variants with matching pin counts and termination styles, such as WTB36SAD7JTA-B82 or WTB36SAD11SY, provided the mounting ears and tail lengths align with the design constraints.
