VRM-08-20-100-50-03-L

Overview

The VRM-08-20-100-50-03-L is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It features 40 positions arranged in 8 rows with solder pin termination for through-hole mounting. The connector operates at right angles and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts within an aluminum alloy shell. Rated for 2 A current and 200 V voltage, it functions between -55 C and +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards
• High-density interconnect capability with 40 positions in a compact form factor
• Robust metal housing provides structural integrity and shielding

Applications

• Avionics control systems
• Radar signal processing units
• Electronic warfare equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official datasheets to confirm locking mechanism or environmental sealing variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status as military variants may differ from commercial standards. Validate lead times for factory special orders directly with Molex/AirBorn distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high-density board-to-board connections in harsh environments. Ensure mating receptacles match the 8-row configuration and 0.050-inch pitch. Verify that the right-angle orientation aligns with PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI family of open-pin field connectors. These connectors are designed for demanding aerospace and defense applications where reliability under vibration and extreme temperatures is critical. The series supports various contact counts and mounting styles.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 8-row, 40-position layout and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substitution. Cross-reference with other verSI series parts for potential drop-in replacements.
