VRRAM-04-40-50-00-N

Overview

The VRRAM-04-40-50-00-N is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It functions as a receptacle with a metal body and vertical orientation. The component features a press-fit termination style for board mounting. It contains 160 positions arranged in 4 rows of 4 columns. The contacts are female sockets with gold plating. The pitch is 0.050 inches (1.27 mm). It complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Feature Summary

• Military specification compliance ensuring reliability in harsh environments
• Press-fit termination for secure board mounting without soldering
• Gold-plated female socket contacts for low resistance connection
• Metal body construction for structural integrity

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Datacom networking hardware
• Military avionics systems
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm environmental or material variations. Confirm that the press-fit termination matches the target PCB pad design. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs within the same verSI series. Check for any product change notifications affecting lead times or specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, rugged interconnect solution is required for vertical board-to-board or backplane applications. The 160-position capacity supports complex signal routing. Verify that the system environment meets the operating temperature range specified in the official documentation. Ensure mechanical clearance accommodates the vertical profile and metal housing dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI family of rectangular connectors designed for demanding industrial and military applications. The series offers various row and column configurations to meet different density requirements. The VRRAM variant specifically denotes a receptacle with press-fit termination, distinguishing it from solder pin or cable assembly options within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 160-position count, 4-row layout, 1.27mm pitch, and press-fit termination. Verify that alternative parts comply with MIL-DTL-83513 if military qualification is mandatory. Cross-reference mating plug specifications to ensure interface compatibility.
