WTDXA20SAJTA

Overview

The WTDXA20SAJTA is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It is a receptacle featuring 20 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. The component utilizes crimp termination for 22 AWG wires and employs gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts. Designed for PCB mounting in a straight orientation, it operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms and a current rating of 5 A.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects.
• Features removable crimp contacts for simplified assembly and maintenance.
• Utilizes a durable Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulating body.
• Provides secure PCB mounting with a straight installation angle.

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized ground-based communication equipment
• Defense electronics requiring MIL-DTL-55302 compliance

Procurement Notes
