WTB44SAD7J-B82

Overview

The WTB44SAD7J-B82 is a rectangular military specification board mount receptacle from the AirBorn W Series. It features 44 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes socket contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating, terminated via through-hole soldering. Designed for vertical installation on boards, it includes mounting ears and a fixed jackset within a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) plastic body.

Feature Summary

• Dual-row receptacle configuration with 44 female socket contacts
• Through-hole termination with straight board mount orientation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene sulfide housing with integrated mounting ears

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems
• High-reliability industrial control panels
• Ruggedized communication equipment interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official AirBorn documentation to confirm exact contact type, plating thickness, and mounting variations. Ensure compatibility with mating plug components within the W Series family. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized Molex/AirBorn distributors prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, dual-row board-to-board interface is required. The 44-position count suits applications needing extensive I/O in a compact footprint. Verify that the 0.100-inch pitch aligns with PCB layout constraints and that the through-hole termination method matches the manufacturing process capabilities.
