WTDXA26SAJT

Overview

The AirBorn WTDXA26SAJT is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the W Series, designed for high-reliability applications. It features a 26-position, 2-row configuration with a 2.54 mm pitch. The receptacle utilizes gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts and a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing. Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it operates between -65 °C and +125 °C. This component employs crimp termination for cable mounting and complies with MIL-DTL-55302 standards.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged environments
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing for thermal stability
• Supports crimp termination for secure cable connections

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized communication equipment
• Defense electronics assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Molex/AirBorn before procurement. Confirm that the crimp tooling requirements match the specified contact size. Ensure environmental sealing needs are addressed through appropriate mating connectors or accessories, as the base receptacle may require additional protection for harsh conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a straight, cable-mount receptacle with crimp termination is required. The 26-position count and 2.54 mm pitch define the interface density. Verify compatibility with corresponding male plugs in the W Series to ensure proper pin/socket orientation and mechanical fit within the assembly constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors known for high-density interconnects. The series offers various configurations including board mount and cable mount options with different termination styles. The WTDXA26SAJT specifically addresses applications requiring robust, standardized military-grade connectivity.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with M55302/58-B26X equivalents. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical crimp termination methods and PPS housing materials to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
