WTBV44PCJ

Overview

The WTBV44PCJ is a rectangular MIL Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features a free-hanging panel mount plug configuration with 44 contacts arranged in two rows. The component utilizes straight pin solder cup termination for reliable board connection. Designed for harsh environments, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C and employs Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing material. The unit offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms and provides three reliable points-of-contact.

Feature Summary

• Free-hanging panel mount design for flexible installation
• Dual-row configuration supporting high-density interconnects
• Robust thermal performance suitable for extreme conditions
• High insulation resistance ensuring signal integrity

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring rugged interconnects
• Ground-based defense communication equipment
• Harsh environment industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and contact termination details before procurement. Confirm that the solder cup termination matches your assembly process requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same W Series family. Check for any specific environmental sealing or shielding requirements not covered in standard specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a high-contact-count, panel-mount solution is required for military-grade applications. The two-row layout maximizes density within standard form factors. Consider the PPS housing for chemical resistance and thermal stability. Validate that the straight pin solder cup termination aligns with your PCB manufacturing capabilities and reliability standards.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors known for durability in demanding sectors. The series offers various row options and contact counts, catering to diverse interconnect needs. AirBorn, now part of Molex, maintains strict quality standards for these military-specification products, ensuring consistency across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 44-contact count, two-row layout, and panel mount style. Verify identical termination types and operating temperature ranges. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' MIL-DTL-38999 or similar rectangular connector families if form-factor compatibility allows.
