VSF-10-40-50-00-L

Overview

The AirBorn VSF-10-40-50-00-L 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 press-fit termination. The connector comprises 40 columns and 10 rows, providing 400 circuits. It includes guide sockets for alignment and supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.125 to 0.250 inches.

Feature Summary

• Vertical press-fit termination for secure board mounting
• Integrated guide sockets for precise alignment during mating
• Military specification construction for rugged reliability
• High-density 400-circuit configuration in a compact form factor

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in military avionics systems
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures requiring high pin counts
• Mezzanine connections in defense communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm material or plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing guide socket requirements and board thickness constraints before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and authenticity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, vertically mounted receptacle with integrated guidance is required. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for significant circuit density within limited space. Verify that the target PCB supports press-fit technology and accommodates the specified board thickness range of 0.125 to 0.250 inches for proper mechanical engagement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, designed for demanding environments. The VSF designation indicates a rectangular receptacle with press-fit contacts. The series is known for its robustness and compliance with military standards, making it suitable for applications where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are critical operational requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other verSI series receptacles with matching column and row counts, such as VSF-10-40-50-00-G or VSF-10-40-50-00-J. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 0.050-inch pitch, vertical orientation, and guide socket configuration to preserve mechanical and electrical interface integrity.
