VRM-08-20-200-50-04-N1

Overview

The VRM-08-20-200-50-04-N1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 plug manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with 20 columns and 8 rows, providing 160 positions. The connector utilizes gold-plated pin contacts made from copper alloy and employs through-hole termination for board mounting. Constructed with a metal body, it operates at a voltage rating of 200 V and a current rating of 2 A per contact. The unit supports a temperature range from -55°C to +125°C and includes turning jackscrews for secure installation.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged performance
• Features a durable metal housing for enhanced environmental protection
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission

Applications

• Avionics control systems
• Spacecraft instrumentation
• Electronic warfare equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm mechanical variations such as jacknut type or board thickness compatibility. Ensure that the required pin count and row configuration match the design requirements before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status if applicable to the project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density rectangular connector meeting MIL-DTL-83513 standards is required. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for significant circuit density within a compact footprint. Consider the through-hole termination method and metal housing material for applications demanding robust mechanical stability and thermal management in harsh environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, designed for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The series is widely used in aerospace and defense sectors where strict adherence to military standards is mandatory. The manufacturer, now part of Molex, maintains a legacy of producing connectors for critical mission-critical applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-83513 standard, 160-position count, and 0.050-inch pitch. Verify equivalent mechanical dimensions and termination styles to ensure interchangeability without PCB redesign.
