WTKVA14PSY

Overview

The WTKVA14PSY is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It is classified as a straight plug designed for board mount applications. The component features 14 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. It utilizes pin (male) contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating, terminated via crimp connections suitable for 22 AWG wire. 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 unit operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for rugged performance
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Constructed with Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing material
• Designed for free-hanging or panel mount configurations

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• Aviation communication equipment
• Ruggedized industrial control interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact termination style and mounting configuration against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the 22 AWG wire gauge requirement aligns with the assembly process. Ensure compliance with the stated operating temperature range for the intended environment. Check for any specific ordering suffixes that may alter physical dimensions or contact orientation. Validate RoHS status if required by the project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a MIL-DTL-55302 compliant straight plug is required for high-reliability applications. The 14-position dual-row layout suits dense interconnect needs. Choose based on the need for crimp termination rather than soldering. Consider the PPS material properties for thermal stability. Verify compatibility with mating receptacles in the same series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors known for meeting stringent military standards. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The WTKVA14PSY specifically addresses the need for robust, crimp-terminated plugs in harsh environments. It represents a standard solution for board-to-board or cable-to-board connections in defense and aerospace sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-55302 standard, 14-position count, and crimp termination. Verify identical pitch and housing material for mechanical fit. Cross-reference with other manufacturers producing equivalent military-grade rectangular connectors.
