VSF-06-10-50-03-N

Overview

The AirBorn VSF-06-10-50-03-N is a rectangular MIL-Spec receptacle from the Versi series, manufactured by Molex. It features a plastic body with gold-plated female sockets and a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. Designed for vertical through-hole mounting, it provides 60 positions arranged in 10 rows and 6 columns. The connector includes fixed jacknuts accommodating up to 0.125 inch board thickness and has a tail length of 0.109 inches. It complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Features a plastic housing design suitable for high-density interconnects

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance
• Ruggedized electronic equipment operating in harsh environments
• High-reliability communication and radar subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and manufacturing origin when sourcing this component. Confirm that the supplier provides traceability documentation required for military-grade parts. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs regarding keying options and shell sizes. Check for RoHS compliance status if applicable to your project requirements. Validate pinout configurations against system schematics before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications demanding verified MIL-DTL-83513 performance in a compact form factor. The 1.27 mm pitch allows for high I/O density within constrained panel spaces. Consider the plastic body material for weight savings compared to metal alternatives. Ensure the vertical orientation fits the mechanical assembly constraints. Verify that the 60-position count meets the signal routing requirements without excessive cabling complexity.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn Versi family, known for high-density rectangular connectors. The Versi series is widely used in aerospace and defense sectors where space efficiency and reliability are critical. The VSF suffix indicates a socket receptacle configuration, distinguishing it from plug variants. This specific model represents a standard configuration within the broader MIL-DTL-83513 ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the MIL-DTL-83513 specification, 1.27 mm pitch, and 60-position layout. Verify identical row/column arrangements and mounting dimensions. Cross-reference with other manufacturers producing equivalent MIL-spec receptacles only if full dimensional and electrical compatibility is confirmed.
