VSF-04-50-50-00-N

Overview

The AirBorn VSF-04-50-50-00-N is a rectangular receptacle from the verSI Series, designed for MIL-DTL-83513 applications. It features a 1.27 mm pitch with 4 rows and 50 columns, providing 200 positions. The connector utilizes a press-fit termination style for board mounting and includes fixed jacknuts compatible with up to 0.125-inch maximum board thickness. Contacts are gold-plated beryllium copper sockets housed in an aluminum alloy shell. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards
• Robust aluminum alloy housing for structural integrity
• Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Fixed jacknut design simplifies installation on specified board thicknesses

Applications

• Avionics control systems
• Radar and electronic warfare equipment
• Spacecraft communication interfaces
• Shipboard navigation electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level of the datasheet prior to ordering, as AirBorn documents undergo periodic updates. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness does not exceed the 0.125-inch limit for the fixed jacknuts. Ensure compatibility with the mating plug series by checking column and row counts against system requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a high-density, military-specification receptacle is required for vertical board mounting. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering processes, reducing thermal stress on the assembly. Choose this model over plastic-bodied variants if enhanced shielding or mechanical durability is necessary for the operational environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI family, which specializes in high-reliability interconnects for harsh environments. The series offers various termination options and body materials to meet diverse mechanical and electrical demands across aerospace and defense sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 4x50 configuration, 1.27 mm pitch, and press-fit termination. Verify that any alternative maintains the same MIL-DTL-83513 compliance and physical dimensions to ensure interchangeability without redesigning the host PCB.

FAQ
