VRF-08-50-50-03-N

Overview

The VRF-08-50-50-03-N is a rectangular military specification receptacle from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It features 240 positions arranged in an 8-row configuration with gold-plated female sockets. Designed for board mount installation via through-hole termination, this connector operates at a voltage rating of 200VAC and a current rating of 2A. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +125°C. Constructed with an aluminum alloy shell and beryllium copper contacts, it complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated beryllium copper contacts for durable signal transmission
• Features a robust aluminum alloy housing for structural integrity
• Supports high-density interconnects with 240 positions in a compact form factor

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring verified environmental resistance
• Ruggedized ground-based communication equipment
• High-reliability industrial control interfaces
• Defense electronics demanding strict compliance with military standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before procurement. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and termination style. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs within the same verSI series. Check for any recent product change notifications that may affect material composition or dimensional tolerances.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, MIL-spec receptacle is required for vertical board mounting. Ensure the mating plug provides corresponding male pins and compatible guide features. Verify that the PCB layout supports the specified through-hole pitch and row spacing. Consider the thermal and mechanical constraints of the application against the -55°C to +125°C operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI family, known for high-density interconnect solutions in harsh environments. The VRF designation indicates a receptacle configuration within the rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 standard. AirBorn, now part of Molex, specializes in connectors for aerospace and defense sectors, emphasizing durability and signal integrity in demanding operational conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 240-position count, 8-row layout, and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions with alternative manufacturers offering equivalent military-grade receptacles. Cross-reference mating plug specifications to ensure proper engagement and retention.
