VSF-08-50-50-04-N1

Overview

The AirBorn VSF-08-50-50-04-N1 is a rectangular MIL-Spec receptacle from the verSI series, compliant with MIL-DTL-83513. It features a plastic body and vertical through-hole termination with a 0.140-inch tail length. The connector utilizes a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch and includes fixed jacknuts for board thicknesses up to 0.125 inches. It comprises 4 rows and 50 columns, providing 200 socket positions. Contact materials are beryllium copper with gold plating. Rated current is 2A per contact. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C, with insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged environmental performance.
• Features a high-density 0.050-inch pitch design within a compact rectangular form factor.
• Utilizes fixed jacknuts for secure mounting on printed circuit boards up to specified thickness limits.
• Employs gold-plated beryllium copper contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring MIL-Spec reliability
• Military communication equipment interfaces
• Ruggedized electronic control units
