Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer documentation to confirm exact material specifications and compliance status. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the WTA series. Confirm that the soldering process aligns with the thermal requirements of the 2.54 mm pitch connector to maintain electrical integrity during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 54-contact straight plug is required for MIL-DTL-55302 applications. It is suitable for designs needing a male connector with solder termination on a two-row layout. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch for standard spacing requirements and verify panel or board mounting constraints before finalizing the part number.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn WTA series, which offers various contact counts and configurations. The WTDXA54PJTL specifically addresses needs for higher density connections in a compact straight form factor. As part of the broader AirBorn portfolio, it supports interchangeable pin and socket contacts, allowing flexibility in hardware orientation relative to the first contact position.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other WTA series plugs with 54 contacts and solder terminals, such as WTA54PF3JL. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch and straight orientation to ensure mechanical fit and electrical continuity.
