WTKVA36PJTB

Overview

The WTKVA36PJTB is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn W Series, manufactured by Molex. It features a 2-row straight plug configuration with 36 positions and a 2.54 mm pitch. Designed for board mounting, it utilizes solder cup termination with gold-plated copper alloy male pins. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1 kV, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. It operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C and supports 22 AWG wire.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-55302 standards for military-grade reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts on a PPS insulator for corrosion resistance
• Supports solder cup termination for secure board integration

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized industrial control panels
• Defense communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to ensure correct termination style and contact orientation. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer as regulatory requirements may vary by production batch. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-55302 designation to validate environmental performance claims before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a straight, board-mount plug with solder cup termination is required. Ensure the mating receptacle matches the 2-row, 36-position layout. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -65 C to +125 C range. Confirm that the 5 A current rating per contact is sufficient for the circuit design.
