WTKVA56PJTB

Overview

The AirBorn WTKVA56PJTB is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the W Series, designed as a straight plug with 56 positions in a 2-row configuration. It utilizes crimp termination for 22 AWG wires and features gold-plated copper alloy pins. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Rated for 5 A current, it operates between -65°C and +125°C with a 2.54 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade rugged construction suitable for harsh environments
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene Sulfide housing offers thermal stability

Applications

• Avionics systems
• Radar equipment
• Military communication arrays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact material certifications. Confirm that the 22 AWG wire gauge requirement aligns with your cable assembly specifications before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density 56-position straight plug is required for board-to-board or cable-to-panel connections. Ensure mating receptacles share the same 2.54 mm pitch and locking mechanism compatibility within the W Series ecosystem.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a line of rectangular connectors engineered for demanding military and aerospace applications. The series emphasizes durability and consistent performance under extreme mechanical and environmental stress conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other W Series plugs with identical pin counts and termination styles, such as WTKVA56PJTC, provided the mounting style and contact orientation requirements are met.
