VSM-04-10-100-50-04-L1

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-04-10-100-50-04-L1 is a rectangular plug connector from the verSI series, compliant with MIL-DTL-83513. It features a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch and a 4-row configuration with 10 columns, providing 40 positions. The housing is constructed from plastic material, specifically Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), and utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated for 2 A current and 200 V voltage. Designed for vertical surface mount installation, it includes guide pins to accommodate board thicknesses up to 0.125 inches.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade compliance with MIL-DTL-83513 specifications
• High-density 40-position layout in a compact rectangular form factor
• Surface-mount termination with integrated guide pin alignment system

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Ruggedized military communication equipment
• Board-to-board connections in harsh environmental conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L1' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm housing material and guide pin specifications. Ensure compatibility with MIL-DTL-83513 mating requirements. Confirm RoHS status and manufacturing origin through authorized distributors. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise board spacing and tail length parameters before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical surface-mount solution is required for MIL-DTL-83513 applications. The 1.27 mm pitch supports high-density designs. Verify that the plastic LCP housing meets thermal requirements for the operating environment. Ensure the PCB design accommodates the guide pin holes and surface-mount footprint dimensions specified in the mechanical drawings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, designed for demanding environments. The series offers various termination styles and row configurations. As a Molex product, it adheres to strict quality standards for defense and aerospace sectors. The model number encodes row count, column count, pitch, and termination type.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-83513 standard, 1.27 mm pitch, 40-position count, and surface-mount termination. Verify housing material and guide pin presence. Contact Molex/AirBorn for updated equivalent part numbers if this specific suffix is discontinued.
