VSF-04-30-50-00-L

Overview

The AirBorn VSF-04-30-50-00-L is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector receptacle from the verSI series. It features a 1.27mm pitch and a plastic body designed for vertical board mounting. The component utilizes press-fit termination with fixed jacknuts, accommodating board thicknesses up to 0.125 inches. It provides 120 positions arranged in four rows of thirty columns. The contacts are female sockets plated with gold.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards for military-grade reliability
• Vertical orientation with press-fit termination for secure PCB attachment
• Gold-plated female socket contacts ensure consistent signal integrity

Applications

• High-reliability military electronic systems
• Aviation avionics control units
• Defense communication equipment backplanes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm material or plating variations compared to standard variants like 'N'. Ensure compatibility with existing guide pins or jacknut requirements for the target assembly. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current certification documents before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a vertical, high-density MIL-Spec receptacle is required. The 1.27mm pitch supports dense circuit layouts. Verify that the press-fit termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities of the printed circuit board. Ensure the 120-position count matches the system interface requirements precisely.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which specializes in high-speed, high-density rectangular connectors. The series is engineered for demanding environments requiring robust mechanical retention and reliable electrical performance. It serves as a critical interconnect solution within complex electronic assemblies where space constraints and signal integrity are paramount.

Replacement Considerations

Consider VSF-04-30-50-00-N1 for identical specifications with potential plating differences. Evaluate VSF-04-30-50-00-G1 if guide sockets are preferred over fixed jacknuts. Cross-reference with VSM-04-20-080-50-01-N only if pin/socket polarity reversal is acceptable.
