WY Series Connectors Catalog Specifications and Performance Data

12G Aviation Connectors with Multiple Core Count Options

WY Series Connectors: A Complete Specification Reference

This catalog provides a complete specification of the WY Series connectors across all key dimensions, ranging from product variety (model type, core count) to performance parameters (materials, IP rating, temperature range, electrical properties, and termination). It is intended for engineers and procurement specialists who need to verify interface, environmental limits, and electrical ratings before selecting a part for an industrial application.

What This Catalog Covers

The document organizes WY Series data into the following categories to support a quick technical assessment:

• Model type and core count – identifies the available configurations and pin options.
• Materials – lists housing, contact, and insulation materials used in construction.
• IP rating – specifies the degree of protection against dust and water ingress.
• Temperature range – defines the operational ambient limits for the series.
• Electrical properties – includes rated current, voltage, and contact resistance values.
• Termination – describes the available contact termination methods (e.g., crimp, solder).

How to Use This Specification

Use the catalog to match a WY connector to your application requirements. Verify the following parameters against your system design before ordering:

• Confirm the required number of contacts and the exact model code.
• Check the IP rating against the installation environment (e.g., washdown, outdoor exposure).
• Ensure the temperature range covers your operating and storage conditions.
• Compare the rated current and voltage with your load profile, including any derating factors.
• Select the termination method compatible with your assembly process.

Key Selection Criteria

When evaluating WY connectors, focus on the following decision points:

• Interface and keying – confirm the mating interface and any coding options to prevent mismating.
• Mounting style – determine whether you need a cable connector, panel mount, or other configuration.
• Environmental protection – verify the IP rating and whether it applies only when mated.
• Electrical limits – check the rated values and any derating conditions specified in the catalog.
• Mechanical durability – review mating cycle life and cable range compatibility.

Application Boundaries

The WY Series is designed for industrial connection tasks where a reliable, environmentally protected interface is required. However, the catalog does not indicate suitability for all environments. Confirm the following before use:

• The IP rating is typically valid only when the connector is fully mated and locked.
• Electrical ratings may be derated at elevated temperatures or with higher wire gauges.
• Material compatibility with specific chemicals or solvents is not stated in this catalog.
