WTB50SOR9J

Overview

The WTB50SOR9J is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series connector manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It is a receptacle featuring 50 positions arranged in two rows with socket contacts. The component utilizes through-hole termination and board mount installation at a right angle. Constructed with copper alloy contacts, gold plating, and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) shell, it supports a 2.54 mm pitch. Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it operates between -65 C and +125 C with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Molex / AirBorn documentation to ensure correct contact orientation and hardware configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the manufacturer datasheet as regulatory requirements may vary by production batch. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle receptacle with socket contacts is required for high-density interconnects. Ensure the mating plug corresponds to the same MIL-DTL-55302 standard and physical dimensions. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the through-hole pins and the right-angle profile constraints. Confirm environmental ratings meet the operational temperature range requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors designed for demanding environments. The series offers various configurations including plugs and receptacles with different row counts and termination styles. The WTB50SOR9J specifically addresses needs for robust, high-pin-count connections in space-constrained assemblies requiring reliable performance under stress.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other MIL-DTL-55302 compliant connectors from qualified manufacturers. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical fit before substitution. Equivalent parts must match the 50-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, and right-angle form factor.
