VSF-04-10-50-04-N1

Overview

The AirBorn VSF-04-10-50-04-N1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 receptacle from the verSI series. It features a 1.27 mm pitch with 10 columns and 4 rows, providing 40 positions. The connector utilizes gold-plated beryllium copper sockets for termination via through-hole mounting. Constructed with a liquid crystal polymer body, it supports a maximum operating temperature of +125°C and a minimum of -55°C. Rated for 2 A current and 200 V voltage, it ensures reliable signal integrity in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for high-reliability interconnection
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure stable electrical performance over time
• Designed with a liquid crystal polymer housing for thermal stability and durability

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring verified signal integrity
• Radar and communication equipment interfaces
• High-density board-to-board connections in defense electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N1' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact plating thickness or environmental rating variations compared to standard variants. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs regarding row and column alignment before procurement. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm material compliance status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40-position vertical receptacle is required within a MIL-DTL-83513 framework. Confirm that the 1.27 mm pitch aligns with the PCB layout constraints. Verify that the through-hole termination method matches the manufacturing process capabilities and that the 2 A current rating suffices for the intended circuit load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI family, which focuses on high-density interconnect solutions. The series offers various row and column configurations to accommodate different pin counts while maintaining a consistent 1.27 mm pitch. These connectors are engineered for applications where space efficiency and robust mechanical performance are critical requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 4-row by 10-column configuration and 1.27 mm pitch. Verify that any alternative maintains the same MIL-DTL-83513 compliance and physical dimensions to ensure proper fit within existing enclosures and mating assemblies without redesigning the host board.

FAQ

What is the contact material used in this receptacle?

The contacts are manufactured from beryllium copper and feature a gold plating finish.

Does this connector support right-angle mounting?

No, the VSF-04-10-50-04-N1 is designed specifically for vertical, straight through-hole board mounting.
