WTDXA36SJT

Overview

The WTDXA36SJT is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, compliant with MIL-DTL-55302. It features a 36-position, 2-row configuration with a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed as a free-hanging panel mount receptacle, it utilizes crimp termination for socket contacts plated with gold. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), supporting a current rating of 5 A and a voltage rating of 333 V. Operating temperatures range from -65 C to +125 C, with an insulation resistance of 5 MOhms.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability applications
• Features gold-plated beryllium copper socket contacts for durable signal transmission
• Utilizes Polyphenylene Sulfide housing for thermal stability and chemical resistance
• Supports free-hanging panel mounting with straight orientation

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring standardized interconnects
• Ruggedized industrial control panels
• Defense communication equipment
• High-vibration aerospace instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm termination style and mounting configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating pins regarding contact plating and current capacity. Confirm environmental sealing requirements if operating in harsh conditions. Cross-reference part numbers with manufacturer updates to avoid obsolete stock.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications demanding MIL-DTL-55302 compliance and panel-mount flexibility. Compare with WTDXA36SJTB if cable termination is preferred over crimp. Evaluate PPS material properties against extreme temperature or chemical exposure needs. Verify that the 333 V rating meets system voltage requirements.

Part Context

Part of the AirBorn W Series, designed for high-density interconnects in demanding environments. The series emphasizes reliability through robust mechanical design and certified materials. This specific variant focuses on panel-mount versatility within the broader MIL-Spec ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

WTDXA36SJTB offers similar electrical characteristics but uses cable mount crimp termination instead of panel mount. Verify interface compatibility before substitution.
