VRM-06-20-200-50-03-L

Overview

The VRM-06-20-200-50-03-L is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn Versi series. It functions as a plug with a metal body, designed for vertical through-hole board mounting. The component features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch and supports 120 circuits arranged in 6 rows and 20 columns. Key specifications include a 20.00mm board spacing, a 0.109-inch tail length, and turning jackscrews compatible with up to 0.125-inch maximum board thickness.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with a durable metal body for enhanced shielding and mechanical stability.
• Equipped with turning jackscrews to secure connections on boards up to 0.125 inches thick.
• Designed for vertical orientation using a through-hole termination method.

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance.
• High-density board-to-board interconnects in rugged environments.
• Avionics and defense communication equipment utilizing rectangular plug configurations.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm material or plating variations, as datasheets may list similar variants like 'J'. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pin count, row/column configuration, and termination style required for your PCB layout before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a metal-body plug is required for high-reliability applications. The 120-position capacity suits dense signal routing needs. Verify that the 20.00mm board spacing aligns with your chassis design. Ensure the turning jacknut mounting style is preferred over guide pins or fixed nuts for your assembly process. Confirm compatibility with mating receptacles such as the VSF series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn Versi family of rectangular connectors, which are widely used in demanding industrial and military sectors. The Versi series offers various body materials and termination options. This specific model utilizes a metal housing, distinguishing it from plastic-bodied counterparts like the VSM series, providing superior environmental protection and EMI shielding capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include VRM-06-20-200-50-03-J if the locking mechanism difference is acceptable. For plastic body alternatives, consider VSM-06-20-200-50-03-G. Always verify mating compatibility with corresponding receptacles like VSF-06-20-50-03-N before swapping components.
