VRF-08-20-50-06-N1

Overview

The VRF-08-20-50-06-N1 is a rectangular military specification receptacle from the AirBorn Versi series. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) contact pitch and a metal body construction. The connector is designed for vertical board mount installation using a press-fit termination method. This specific model includes fixed jacknuts to accommodate board thicknesses ranging from 0.125 inches to 0.250 inches. It incorporates an EMI gasket for shielding effectiveness. The assembly consists of 20 columns and 8 rows, providing a total of 160 circuits with gold-plated female sockets.

Feature Summary

• Vertical board mount receptacle with press-fit termination
• Metal body construction with integrated EMI gasket
• Fixed jacknuts for boards between 0.125 and 0.250 inches thick

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems
• High-density board-to-board interconnects
• Ruggedized communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target PCB stack-up falls within the 0.125 to 0.250 inch range supported by the fixed jacknuts. Confirm that the application environment requires the EMI shielding provided by the integrated gasket. Ensure the press-fit termination process aligns with the manufacturer's recommended soldering profiles for MIL-DTL-83513 compliance.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a high-density, ruggedized connector is required for vertical mounting. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for significant circuit density in a compact footprint. The metal housing and EMI gasket are critical for applications demanding signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Verify row and column counts match the system's I/O requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn Versi series, which is designed to meet MIL-DTL-83513 standards. The series offers various configurations for board stacking and backplane applications. The VRF designation indicates a receptacle with a metal body and press-fit contacts, distinguishing it from cable or panel mount variants.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other AirBorn Versi series parts sharing the same 0.050-inch pitch and MIL-DTL-83513 form factor. Ensure substitute models maintain the same row/column count and termination style. Verify that any alternative retains the fixed jacknut configuration for compatible board thicknesses.
