WTBV36PD11J

Overview

The AirBorn WTBV36PD11J is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series connector plug featuring 36 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes male pin contacts with gold plating on copper alloy substrates, designed for through-hole board mount installation at a straight angle. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms and voltage ratings up to 1 kV. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C with a 2.54 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability applications
• Features gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts for stable signal transmission
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing for thermal stability
• Designed for vertical through-hole PCB mounting with straight orientation

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring rugged interconnects
• Defense communication equipment interfaces
• High-density electronic assemblies in harsh environments
• Aerospace control panel connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix J against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact contact tail length and guide set configurations. Ensure compatibility with corresponding receptacles under MIL-DTL-55302 standards. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer as regulatory requirements may vary by production batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36-position male plug is required for MIL-DTL-55302 compliant designs. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with PCB layout constraints. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -65°C to +125°C range and that the 5 A current rating meets circuit demands without derating issues.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors known for durability in demanding sectors. The WTBV variant specifically denotes a board mount plug with vertical orientation. These connectors are engineered for consistent performance in aerospace and defense applications where vibration resistance and electrical reliability are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-55302 specification, 36-position count, and male pin configuration. Verify identical housing material and contact plating to ensure environmental compatibility.
