VRF-08-40-50-00-N

Overview

The VRF-08-40-50-00-N is a rectangular military specification receptacle from the AirBorn versi series. It features a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch with a metal body and vertical press-fit termination style. The connector includes fixed jacknuts for board thicknesses up to 0.125 inches and an EMI gasket. It provides 30 columns and 8 rows, resulting in 240 circuits using female sockets.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards
• Integrated EMI shielding via built-in gasket design
• Fixed jacknut system ensures secure mounting on printed circuit boards

Applications

• High-density military avionics systems
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures requiring EMI protection
• Board-to-board interconnects in defense applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and environmental compliance status directly with Molex/AirBorn before procurement. Confirm that the press-fit termination method aligns with your PCB manufacturing capabilities. Ensure the fixed jacknut configuration matches your chassis or panel mount requirements. Request the official datasheet for precise mechanical drawings and mating interface details.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high pin count density and robust EMI shielding are required in a military environment. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering defects but requires compatible PCB pads. Compare against other versi series variants if different row/column configurations or termination styles like solder cup are needed. Verify thermal performance limits for your specific operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn versi family of rectangular connectors, widely used in aerospace and defense sectors. The 'VRF' designation indicates a receptacle with fixed jacknuts. The series is known for its reliability under harsh vibration and shock conditions, adhering to strict military specifications for durability and signal integrity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the versi series include variations in column/row counts such as VRF-08-30-50-00-NE. Cross-brand replacements require verifying MIL-DTL-83513 compatibility and identical pitch dimensions. Ensure mating plug connectors match the socket type and housing style.
