WTBV40PD9J-B82

Overview

The WTBV40PD9J-B82 is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features a 2-row straight plug configuration with 40 positions and a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed for board mount applications, it utilizes through-hole termination with gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. Insulation resistance is specified at 5 GOhms. The component operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C and supports 22 AWG wire gauge.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects.
• Features a robust PPS housing designed for demanding environmental conditions.
• Provides secure through-hole soldering for stable PCB integration.

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Radar equipment interfaces
• Communication subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Molex documentation to confirm contact plating thickness and specific material grades. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer as regulatory requirements may vary by production batch. Ensure mating receptacle part numbers are cross-referenced to guarantee mechanical and electrical compatibility before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40-position straight plug is required for MIL-DTL-55302 compliant designs. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the operating environment falls within the specified -65 C to +125 C thermal limits. Confirm that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements without derating.

Part Context
