VRM-08-40-200-50-00-N

Overview

The VRM-08-40-200-50-00-N is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It features a vertical male plug configuration with a 1.27 mm pitch. The component has 8 rows and 40 columns, providing 320 positions. It utilizes a metal body and press-fit termination style. The connector includes fixed jacknuts for board thickness up to 0.125 inches and incorporates an EMI gasket. Contact plating is gold.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface designed for board stacking applications
• Metal housing construction with integrated EMI shielding gasket
• Press-fit termination method for secure PCB mounting

Applications

• High-density vertical board-to-board interconnects
• Military and aerospace electronic systems
• Ruggedized equipment requiring EMI protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision of the datasheet prior to design implementation. Confirm that the ordering suffix accurately reflects the required EMI gasket and jacknut specifications. Ensure compatibility with the mating receptacle series. Check for any recent product change notifications affecting material or dimensional tolerances.

Selection Notes

Select this part for high-pin-count vertical connections requiring robust mechanical retention. The metal body provides superior grounding compared to plastic variants. Verify that the board stack height matches the 200 mm spacing code. Ensure the press-fit process capability aligns with the manufacturing requirements for the target PCB.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI family of high-density connectors. The series offers various termination styles including through-hole and paste-in-hole. The VRM designation indicates a vertical male plug with a metal shell. This specific model represents a high-density configuration suitable for demanding signal integrity environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include VRM-08-40-200-50-00-G1 if gold plating variation is acceptable. Plastic body alternatives like VSM-08-40-200-50-00-N exist but lack EMI shielding. Verify pin count and pitch compatibility before substitution.
