WTBV54PD11J-D01

Overview

The WTBV54PD11J-D01 is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It functions as a board mount plug with pin contacts, designed for vertical through-hole termination. The component features a dual-row configuration with 54 positions and a 2.54 mm pitch. Constructed with copper alloy contacts and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing, it supports a current rating of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. Operating temperatures range from -65 C to +125 C, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for military-grade reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for durable electrical connection
• Features a robust polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulating body
• Designed for vertical board mounting via through-hole soldering

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high-reliability interconnects
• Ruggedized electronic equipment operating in extreme environments
• High-voltage signal transmission in defense applications

Procurement Notes

Verify specific ordering suffixes against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to ensure correct contact plating and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer, as availability may vary. Validate that the 54-position configuration matches the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a MIL-DTL-55302 compliant plug is required for vertical through-hole assembly. Ensure the 54-pin count and 2.54 mm pitch align with the mating receptacle specifications. Consider the 1 kV voltage rating and 5 A current capacity for circuit design constraints. Verify compatibility with the intended environmental temperature range of -65 C to +125 C.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors approved to MIL-55302 specifications. The series is characterized by its compact form factor and high-density capabilities, suitable for demanding aerospace and defense applications where space and reliability are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-55302 standard, 54-position count, and through-hole pin configuration. Cross-reference with other W Series plugs or equivalent MIL-spec manufacturers ensuring identical pitch and voltage ratings.
