VRM-04-10-160-50-02-G

Overview

The VRM-04-10-160-50-02-G is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It is classified as a plug with 40 positions arranged in 4 rows. The component features male pin contacts with gold plating and utilizes a through-hole termination method for board mounting. It adheres to the MIL-DTL-83513 standard and operates at a contact pitch of 0.050 inches (1.27 mm).

Feature Summary

• High-density interconnect capability within a compact rectangular form factor.
• Robust construction designed for demanding military and aerospace environments.
• Secure mechanical attachment via through-hole soldering for reliable PCB integration.

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring verified reliability.
• Aerospace communication equipment interfaces.
• Ruggedized electronic instrumentation panels.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Molex documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and termination variations. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same verSI series family. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the environmental requirements of the intended deployment scenario before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count vertical plug is required for MIL-DTL-83513 compliant designs. Evaluate the 4-row configuration against available panel space constraints. Consider the through-hole mounting style if surface-mount alternatives are unsuitable for the structural load requirements of the application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which provides open-pin field PCB connectors. The series supports various mounting styles including vertical and right-angle configurations. These connectors are engineered for high-speed applications and offer contact counts ranging from 40 to 500 positions across different row and column combinations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 40-position count, 4-row layout, and 0.050-inch pitch. Verify that any alternative maintains the same MIL-DTL-83513 compliance level and through-hole termination type to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability without redesigning the host board.
