VRM-06-20-200-50-03-N

Overview

The VRM-06-20-200-50-03-N is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It functions as a plug with a metal body and vertical through-hole termination style. The component features a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch and supports 120 circuits arranged in 6 rows and 20 columns. Designed for board mounting, it includes turning jackscrews compatible with a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches. The contacts are gold-plated pins intended for reliable signal transmission in rugged environments.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with a durable metal body for enhanced structural integrity and shielding capabilities.
• Equipped with turning jackscrews to secure connections within specified board thickness limits.
• Utilizes gold-plated male pin contacts to ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance.

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in high-density electronic assemblies
• Ruggedized systems requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance
• Military and aerospace avionics equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same verSI series family. Confirm that the required board thickness falls within the supported range for the turning jacknut mechanism. Cross-reference the part number with the latest revision notes to account for any design changes or obsolescence notices issued by Molex.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a rigid metal housing is required for superior EMI shielding compared to plastic alternatives. The vertical through-hole configuration suits standard PCB assembly processes. Verify that the 120-position density fits the available panel space. Consider the weight implications of the metal body versus polymer options if mass reduction is critical. Ensure the mating environment supports the mechanical retention provided by the turning jackscrews.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which offers high-density interconnect solutions compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards. The series provides various housing materials and termination options to suit different environmental and mechanical requirements. The VRM designation indicates a plug configuration with a metal shell, distinguishing it from plastic-bodied variants like the VSM series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 120-position count, 6-row layout, and metal housing material. Compatible mating connectors include VSF-06-20-50-03-N or similar receptacles from the same series. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 1.27 mm pitch and through-hole termination style to ensure physical fitment on the existing PCB footprint.
