WTDXA24SAJTB-C45

Overview

The AirBorn WTDXA24SAJTB-C45 is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features 24 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The receptacle utilizes solder cup termination for socket contacts plated with gold. Constructed with beryllium copper contacts and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing, it supports panel mounting in a straight orientation. Rated for 5 A current, it operates between -65°C and +125°C with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged performance
• Utilizes gold-plated beryllium copper contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Features a durable polyphenylene sulfide housing resistant to high temperatures

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring MIL-DTL-55302 compliance
• Ruggedized electronic equipment operating in extreme environments
• Panel-mounted interconnects for defense and aerospace applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Molex / AirBorn on official documentation. Confirm the specific suffix C45 corresponds to the required contact configuration and housing variant. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs within the W Series architecture. Request current RoHS certificates and material declarations directly from authorized distributors or the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24-position, two-row rectangular connector is required for panel mounting. The solder cup termination method dictates compatible wire gauge and crimping tools. Verify that the 5 A current rating and 125°C maximum temperature meet the system's thermal and electrical demands. Ensure the straight orientation fits the enclosure design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for harsh environments. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The WTDXA24SAJTB-C45 specifically addresses needs for high-density connections with robust mechanical stability. It is widely used in sectors demanding strict adherence to military standards for reliability.

Replacement Considerations

The equivalent military specification part number is M55302/66L-24H. Verify dimensional and electrical compatibility before substitution. Cross-reference with other W Series variants if pin count or termination style differs.
