Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Molex / AirBorn documentation to ensure correct polarization and mounting configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Request the latest datasheet to validate environmental ratings and mating partner compatibility before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 54-position vertical receptacle is required for MIL-DTL-55302 applications. Ensure the mating plug matches the 2-row, 2.54 mm pitch specification. Verify that the PCB layout supports through-hole soldering for the specified tail length. Check that the system voltage does not exceed the 1 kV rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of high-performance rectangular connectors designed for demanding environments. The series offers various position counts and contact configurations. The WTB54SOR11SY-3 specifically addresses high-density needs within the 54-position category, providing robust mechanical and electrical performance standards defined by military specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with M55302/60-C54Y equivalents if available. Verify pinout and polarization alignment with existing mating components. Ensure physical dimensions and mounting hole patterns match the original design constraints.
