VRF-08-40-50-06-N1

Overview

The AirBorn VRF-08-40-50-06-N1 is a rectangular military specification receptacle from the Versi series, manufactured by Molex/AirBorn. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a metal body and vertical press-fit termination style. The connector is designed for board mount applications and includes fixed jacknuts accommodating a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches. This specific configuration provides 32 columns and 8 rows, resulting in a total of 256 circuits. The contacts are female sockets with gold plating, compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with a durable metal body for robust environmental protection
• Utilizes vertical press-fit termination for secure board mounting
• Includes integrated EMI gasket for electromagnetic interference shielding
• Features fixed jacknuts to support specified maximum board thickness

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Ruggedized communication equipment chassis
• Defense electronics platforms adhering to MIL-DTL-83513 standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix N1 against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm material or coating variations. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB stack-up requirements. Confirm that the 0.125-inch maximum board thickness constraint aligns with your design specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, shielded rectangular connector is required for vertical board mounting. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for high density within limited space. Consider the press-fit termination if through-hole soldering is undesirable. Verify that the 256-circuit capacity meets system signal routing needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn Versi series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for harsh environments. The series is known for its reliability in military and aerospace applications. The VRF designation indicates a receptacle with specific row and column configurations, while the suffixes define termination and environmental sealing options.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other MIL-DTL-83513 compliant connectors from manufacturers like Glenair or ITT Cannon. Ensure pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions match before substitution. Verify that any alternative part supports the same press-fit termination and EMI shielding requirements.
