WTKVA56PSY

Overview

The AirBorn WTKVA56PSY is a rectangular MIL-spec connector plug from the W Series. It features 60 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy pins designed for crimp termination, supporting 22 AWG wire. Rated at 5 A current and 5 GOhms insulation resistance, it operates between -65 C and +125 C. This free-hanging plug provides robust interconnection for demanding environments.
