VSF-10-10-50-03-N

Overview

The VSF-10-10-50-03-N is a rectangular receptacle from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch and a metal body. The connector is designed for vertical through-hole board mounting with fixed jacknuts, supporting a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches. It comprises 10 rows and 10 columns, providing 100 positions. The contacts are gold-plated sockets compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged performance
• Utilizes a durable metal body construction for structural integrity
• Features fixed jacknuts to secure connections on boards up to 0.125 inches thick
• Employs gold-plated socket contacts for reliable signal transmission

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems
• Ruggedized communication equipment
• Defense avionics assemblies
• High-reliability industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to ensure correct configuration. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required contact plating and termination style. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCNs) that may affect material composition or manufacturing origin. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs regarding row and column counts before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a MIL-DTL-83513 compliant receptacle is required for high-density interconnects. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for significant circuit density in constrained spaces. Choose this model for applications necessitating a metal housing for enhanced shielding and mechanical strength compared to plastic alternatives. Ensure the mating plug corresponds to the 10x10 grid layout.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI family, known for high-performance rectangular connectors. The series offers various configurations to meet diverse military and commercial requirements. The VSF-10-10-50-03-N specifically addresses needs for robust, vertically mounted receptacles with standardized military interface dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-83513 specification, 100-position count, and 0.050-inch pitch. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same metal body construction and fixed jacknut mounting style to ensure physical interchangeability.
