VSF-10-10-50-00-L

Overview

The AirBorn VSF-10-10-50-00-L is a rectangular receptacle from the verSI series, designed for board-to-board and mezzanine applications. It features a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch with a plastic body constructed from Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). The connector provides 100 positions arranged in 10 rows and 10 columns, utilizing press-fit termination for vertical board mounting. Contact plating is gold over phosphor bronze or copper alloy contacts. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, rated for 2 A current and 200 V voltage.

Feature Summary

• Vertical press-fit termination ensures secure board mounting without soldering.
• Gold-plated contacts provide reliable signal transmission in high-density layouts.
• LCP housing offers thermal stability and chemical resistance for harsh environments.

Applications

• High-density board stacking systems
• Mezzanine interconnects
• Military and aerospace electronic assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against the latest manufacturer datasheet to confirm material specifications and compliance status. Ensure the design-in process accounts for the vertical orientation and press-fit mechanical requirements. Confirm availability through authorized Molex/AirBorn channels as distribution may be restricted in certain regions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, non-soldered connection is required for high-reliability mezzanine stacks. The 1.27 mm pitch supports dense circuitry while the plastic body reduces weight compared to metal-shell alternatives. Verify that the target PCB thickness accommodates the press-fit tail length and that mating plug components are compatible with the female socket interface.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI family, which specializes in high-performance rectangular connectors for demanding sectors. The series distinguishes itself by offering both plastic and metal body options with various termination styles. As a receptacle, it serves as the stationary interface in paired board-to-board connections, ensuring precise alignment and robust electrical continuity.

FAQ

Is the VSF-10-10-50-00-L compatible with MIL-DTL-83513 standards?

No, this specific part is classified under Board to Board & Mezzanine Connectors rather than MIL-Spec connectors. While it shares performance characteristics, it does not carry the MIL-DTL-83513 designation found in other series variants like the VRF or VSM.

What is the contact gender for this receptacle?

The VSF-10-10-50-00-L contains female sockets designed to mate with male pins. This configuration allows it to function as the receptacle component in a vertical board stack assembly.
