VSF-10-30-50-03-L

Overview

The VSF-10-30-50-03-L is a rectangular receptacle from the AirBorn Versi series, compliant with MIL-DTL-83513. It features a plastic body and vertical orientation with press-fit termination. The connector provides 300 positions arranged in 10 rows and 30 columns, utilizing female sockets with gold plating. Designed for board mount applications, it includes fixed jacknuts accommodating board thicknesses up to 0.250 inches.

Feature Summary

• Versi series construction with plastic housing
• MIL-DTL-83513 military specification compliance
• Press-fit termination for secure board mounting
• Gold-plated female socket contacts

Applications

• Military avionics systems
• Defense communication equipment
• Ruggedized electronic assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official datasheets to confirm material or coating variations. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and board thickness constraints defined by the fixed jacknut design. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with current Molex/AirBorn documentation to validate active status and lead times.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density interconnects are required in space-constrained military environments. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for significant circuit density within standard form factors. Verify that the press-fit termination method aligns with the target PCB manufacturing capabilities and mechanical stress requirements of the final assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn Versi family, known for compact, high-density rectangular connectors. The Versi line serves as a lightweight alternative to traditional MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors, offering higher pin counts in smaller footprints. AirBorn, now part of Molex, maintains these products under strict military quality standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Versi series variants with matching row/column counts. Check for identical termination styles and contact genders. Alternative manufacturers may offer cross-references, but verify dimensional tolerances and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance before substitution.
