WTDXA36SAJTA

Overview

The WTDXA36SAJTA is a rectangular MIL-Spec receptacle from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features 36 positions in a dual-row configuration with a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed for board mount installation, it utilizes through-hole termination and gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV. Insulation resistance is specified at 5 GOhms. The component operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C and supports 22 AWG wire gauges.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing for thermal stability
• Features straight orientation for standard vertical board mounting applications

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems requiring ruggedized interconnects
• High-density circuit board assemblies in defense communication equipment
• Industrial control panels operating in extreme temperature environments
• Avionics subsystems demanding verified MIL-Spec reliability standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact termination style and contact plating variations. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors within the same W Series family. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier or original datasheet prior to integration into regulated supply chains.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36-position dual-row receptacle is required for rigid PCB mounting. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with the target board layout. Ensure the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements. Confirm that the through-hole termination method matches the available manufacturing processes for the printed circuit board assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for mission-critical applications. The series offers various row counts and termination options to support high-density interconnect needs in harsh environments. The WTDXA36SAJTA specifically addresses configurations requiring 36 circuits with standard military-grade durability and electrical performance characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

M55302/64-B36X is a documented alternate designation for this connector type. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions and pinout configurations before substitution. Verify that any replacement maintains identical MIL-DTL-55302 compliance and material specifications.
