WTDXA14SAJTB-C45

Overview

The WTDXA14SAJTB-C45 is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features a straight PCB mount receptacle with 14 positions arranged in two rows. The contacts are female sockets made of copper alloy with gold plating, designed for crimp termination on 22 AWG wire. The housing utilizes Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) material. Electrical specifications include a 5 A current rating and 5 GOhms insulation resistance. The operating temperature range spans from -65 C to +125 C, with a 2.54 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards
• Gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing for thermal stability
• Crimp termination interface supporting standard wire gauges

Applications

• Avionics interconnect systems
• Radar equipment signal routing
• Defense communication hardware
• High-reliability industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C45 against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm environmental sealing or contact finish variations. Ensure mating connectors share the same series designation and pinout configuration. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-55302 compliance status with current procurement requirements. Confirm RoHS certification details if restricted substances apply to the project scope.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, two-row rectangular connector is required for PCB mounting. The 2.54 mm pitch accommodates standard wiring harnesses. Verify that the crimp tooling matches the specified 22 AWG wire gauge. Consider the PPS housing material for applications requiring resistance to elevated temperatures within the specified operational range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for mission-critical environments. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The WTDXA14SAJTB-C45 specifically addresses needs for compact, robust connections in military and aerospace sectors where vibration resistance and electrical integrity are paramount.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes must match the 14-position, two-row layout and 2.54 mm pitch. Verify identical MIL-DTL-55302 compliance and socket contact orientation. Ensure the replacement maintains the same current rating and temperature specifications for direct interchangeability.
