WTKA10SSY

Overview

The WTKA10SSY is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It is a straight receptacle designed for PCB mount applications with 10 positions arranged in two rows. The component utilizes crimp termination for 22 AWG wire and features gold-plated copper alloy socket contacts. Constructed with a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C. Key electrical specifications include a 5 A current rating, 100 V voltage rating, and 5 GOhms insulation resistance, with a 2.54 mm contact pitch.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for high-reliability military applications
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene Sulfide housing provides thermal stability

Applications

• Gyro board interfaces connecting to magnetometer boards
• Connections between gyro boards and I/O boards
• Mission-critical avionics systems requiring high density

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Molex/AirBorn before procurement. Confirm that the crimp tooling matches the 22 AWG wire gauge requirements. Ensure the ordering suffix corresponds exactly to the required pin count and orientation. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-55302 designation to guarantee compatibility with existing mating connectors in the assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a straight, 10-position receptacle with crimp termination is required for PCB mounting. It is suitable for environments demanding operation up to +125°C. Verify that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with the board layout. This model serves as the mating counterpart to plugs like the WTB10PR11SY in specialized sensor interface configurations.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, which offers various row options and contact counts for mission-critical applications. The series is characterized by high reliability and density, often utilized in aerospace and defense sectors where strict environmental and performance standards must be met.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly listed in public documentation. Compatible alternatives must match the 10-position, 2-row, straight receptacle configuration with crimp termination and identical 2.54 mm pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
