Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as this component is listed under both Molex and AirBorn branding. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier documentation, as records indicate varying details across distributors. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the exact physical configuration required for your assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet version to confirm terminal tail length and contact orientation specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a straight, vertical through-hole connection is required for high-density signal routing. The 36-position count suits applications needing substantial I/O on a single connector interface. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with existing PCB footprint designs. Consider the operating temperature limits and voltage ratings to ensure compatibility with the target circuit environment and mechanical constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors designed for demanding environments. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The WTBV36PD9J specifically represents the 36-position variant with pin contacts and mounting hardware. It is engineered to meet stringent military performance criteria while providing reliable interconnection solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include WTBV20PD9J-D01 and WTB10PD9J. These parts share identical electrical characteristics, pitch, and termination methods but differ in position count. Ensure the replacement matches the required circuit density before substitution.
