VRF-10-20-50-03-L

Overview

The AirBorn VRF-10-20-50-03-L is a rectangular military specification receptacle from the verSI series, manufactured by Molex/AirBorn. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch and a metal body construction. The connector is designed for vertical through-hole board mounting with a fixed jacknut configuration suitable for maximum board thicknesses of 0.125 inches. It comprises 20 columns and 10 rows, providing a total of 200 positions. 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
• Features gold-plated female socket contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Designed for vertical through-hole termination to secure board mounting

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• Defense communication equipment
• Ruggedized industrial control interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official Molex documentation to confirm material or coating variations compared to standard 'N' variants. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and mating plug specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density interconnectivity is required in space-constrained military applications. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for significant circuit density within a compact form factor. Verify that the vertical orientation and through-hole termination method align with the printed circuit board design constraints and assembly processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which is a family of high-performance rectangular connectors designed to meet stringent MIL-DTL-83513 requirements. The series offers various configurations including different row/column counts and termination styles to support diverse aerospace and defense connectivity needs.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other verSI series receptacles such as VRF-10-20-50-03-N if lead availability dictates, noting potential differences in contact plating or environmental sealing. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 200-position count and 0.050-inch pitch geometry.
