VSM-04-30-080-50-03-N

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-04-30-080-50-03-N is a rectangular military specification connector from the verSI series, manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It functions as a vertical plug with through-hole termination and straight mounting style. The component features 120 positions arranged in 4 rows and 30 columns, utilizing gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. Designed for board stacking applications, it supports an 8.00mm board spacing with a 0.109-inch tail length. The housing is constructed from liquid crystal polymer (LCP), rated for operation between -55°C and +125°C, with a current rating of 2A per contact.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards for rugged military environments
• Utilizes high-density 1.27mm pitch for compact signal routing
• Features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity
• Incorporates LCP housing for thermal stability and durability

Applications

• Vertical PCB-mount interconnects requiring male interface
• Board stacking systems with specified spacing requirements
• Military and aerospace electronic assemblies
• High-density signal routing in constrained spaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact mechanical attributes such as jacknut type and tail length. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same verSI series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead time requirements directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male plug is required for MIL-DTL-83513 compliant designs. Ensure the target application accommodates the 8.00mm board spacing and 120-position density. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C meets system environmental constraints. Confirm that the through-hole termination method aligns with the PCB fabrication capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which specializes in high-density, signal-integrity connectors. The VSM prefix indicates a vertical male configuration. These connectors are engineered for demanding environments where reliability and compact form factors are critical, serving as key interconnect solutions in advanced electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-83513 standard, 120-position count, 4-row layout, and 8.00mm board spacing. Verify identical termination styles and contact plating specifications to ensure functional interchangeability without redesigning the host assembly.
