VSF-05-50-50-06-N1

Overview

The VSF-05-50-50-06-N1 is a rectangular military specification receptacle from the AirBorn Versi series, manufactured by Molex. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a plastic body and vertical press-fit termination style. The connector provides 250 positions arranged in 5 rows of 50 columns. It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission. Designed for board-to-board applications, it includes fixed jacknuts compatible with board thicknesses ranging from 0.125 to 0.250 inches. The housing material is liquid crystal polymer (LCP), ensuring durability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Vertical press-fit termination for secure board mounting
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for conductivity
• Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing for thermal stability
• Fixed jacknut design for standardized installation

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in military systems
• High-density electronic assemblies requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance
• Avionics and defense communication equipment
• Ruggedized industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to ensure compatibility with your system requirements. Confirm that the press-fit termination method aligns with your PCB fabrication capabilities. Check for any updated environmental certifications or RoHS compliance status directly from the supplier. Ensure that the fixed jacknut configuration matches your enclosure constraints. Always reference the latest datasheet for mechanical dimensions and mating force specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, vertically oriented receptacle is required for military-grade applications. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for significant I/O density within limited board space. The press-fit termination eliminates the need for soldering, potentially improving assembly speed and reliability. Consider the LCP housing material if high-temperature resistance is critical for your operational environment. Ensure the 250-position count meets your circuit requirements without excessive unused pins.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn Versi series, which is designed to meet MIL-DTL-83513 standards. The series offers various configurations including plugs and receptacles with different termination styles. The VSF variant specifically denotes a receptacle with press-fit contacts. AirBorn, now part of Molex, continues to produce these connectors for legacy and new military aerospace applications, maintaining compatibility with established MIL-SPEC form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the MIL-DTL-83513 standard, 0.050-inch pitch, 250 positions, and press-fit termination. Verify that alternative parts support the same board thickness range via jacknuts. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent MIL-SPEC rectangular connectors if AirBorn supply is constrained.
