WTKVA70PSY

Overview

The WTKVA70PSY is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 connector manufactured by AirBorn, now part of Molex. It features a D-subminiature style design with a 70-position configuration. The component utilizes a .100 inch (2.54 mm) centerline pitch for precise pin spacing. This series is engineered for high-density applications requiring reliable electrical performance in demanding environments. The connector supports multiple contact configurations and offers rugged construction suitable for aerospace and defense sectors.

Feature Summary

• Provides three points of contact for secure connection and reliable electrical performance
• Designed for compact, high-density installations within restricted spaces
• Constructed to withstand extreme environmental conditions typical of military and aviation use

Applications

• Aerospace avionics systems
• Defense communication equipment
• Industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to ensure correct housing, contact type, and plating specifications. Confirm that the procurement source provides original manufacturer components to guarantee compliance with MIL-DTL-55302 standards. Request full traceability documentation for quality assurance in regulated industries.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density rectangular connector with .100 inch pitch is required for ruggedized applications. Ensure the mating interface matches the counterpart's gender and contact arrangement. Validate environmental sealing requirements and mounting style compatibility with the target chassis or PCB layout before finalizing the specification.

Part Context

AirBorn was acquired by Molex in 2024, continuing its legacy as a leader in high-end electronic connectors. The W Series falls under the MIL-DTL-55302 standard, known for compactness and reliability. These connectors are widely used in military and aviation sectors where space constraints and durability are critical factors for system integration.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MIL-DTL-55302 compliant manufacturers if supply chain constraints exist. Verify dimensional tolerances and contact alignment to ensure mechanical interchangeability without modifying existing tooling or assembly processes.
