WTBV26PD11J

Overview

The WTBV26PD11J is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series board connector manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features a straight, two-row plug configuration with 26 positions and a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) contact pitch. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing durability in demanding environments. Electrical specifications include a 5 A current rating per contact and a 1 kV voltage rating. The unit operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military standards for high-reliability interconnects
• Utilizes Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing for thermal stability and chemical resistance
• Features fixed jackset design with mounting ears for secure PCB attachment
• Gold-plated contacts ensure low resistance and corrosion protection

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring ruggedized board-to-board connections
• Military communication equipment interfaces
• High-density electronic assemblies in defense applications
• Industrial control systems operating in extreme temperatures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact tail length, orientation, and hardware variations. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding pin/socket configurations and jackset types. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary based on manufacturing schedules.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight-mount, two-row plug is required for MIL-DTL-55302 applications. Verify that the 26-position count matches the circuit requirements. Ensure the 0.100-inch pitch aligns with the PCB layout. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for mission-critical applications. The series offers various configurations including plugs and receptacles with different mounting styles. The WTBV variant specifically denotes a straight plug with defined electrical characteristics suitable for high-density interconnect needs in aerospace and defense sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-55302 specification, 26-position count, and 0.100-inch pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and mounting ear placement. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' equivalents only if they meet identical electrical and environmental ratings.
