VSF-10-20-50-04-L1

Overview

The AirBorn VSF-10-20-50-04-L1 is a rectangular military specification receptacle from the versi series. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a plastic body and vertical orientation. The connector utilizes through-hole termination for board mounting and includes fixed jacknuts accommodating a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches. It comprises 20 columns and 10 rows, providing 200 circuits with female socket contacts.

Feature Summary

• High-density interconnect capability with 200 positions in a compact form factor
• Robust mechanical retention via fixed jacknuts for secure board mounting
• Vertical orientation design facilitates efficient space utilization on printed circuit boards

Applications

• Backplane interconnect systems
• High-speed data transmission modules
• Military and aerospace electronic assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix L1 against official datasheets to confirm material composition and environmental ratings. Ensure compatibility with mating header specifications regarding pin count and row configuration. Confirm that the fixed jacknut style meets the mechanical requirements of the target enclosure. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation for any product change notifications or obsolescence notices prior to finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count vertical receptacle is required for rigid board-to-board connections. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for dense signal routing while maintaining reliable contact integrity. Consider the fixed jacknut feature for applications where standard jackscrews are impractical due to space constraints or assembly workflow requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn versi series, designed for demanding environments requiring high reliability. The series offers various termination styles and row configurations to suit different density needs. As a military specification connector, it adheres to strict performance standards for vibration, shock, and environmental exposure typical in defense and aviation sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 20x10 grid, 0.050-inch pitch, and through-hole termination. Verify that alternative parts support the same 200-circuit capacity and compatible housing dimensions. Ensure mating connectors share identical contact geometry and locking mechanisms to maintain system interoperability.
