VSM-04-30-080-50-04-N1

Overview

The VSM-04-30-080-50-04-N1 is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It functions as a plug with 120 positions arranged in 4 rows and 30 columns. The component utilizes a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch and features male pin contacts made of phosphor bronze with gold plating. Designed for vertical through-hole board mount installation, it includes fixed jacknuts to accommodate a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches. The housing is constructed from liquid crystal polymer (LCP), supporting an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards for rugged military applications
• Utilizes high-density 0.050-inch pitch for compact circuit routing
• Features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity
• Includes fixed jacknuts for secure panel mounting

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures
• High-density signal interconnection in defense equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N1' against official Molex documentation to confirm material or processing variations compared to standard 'N' variants. Ensure compatibility with corresponding receptacles such as the VSF series. Confirm RoHS status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring a 120-position male plug with through-hole termination. Ensure the mating receptacle matches the 4-row configuration and 0.050-inch pitch. Verify that the board thickness does not exceed the 0.125-inch limit supported by the fixed jacknuts. Consider the LCP housing properties for thermal stability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, a line of rectangular connectors designed for high-reliability environments. The series is characterized by its small form factor and adherence to strict military specifications. Molex acquired AirBorn, integrating these connectors into their broader portfolio of high-performance interconnect solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating receptacles include the VSF-04-30-50-04-N series. Cross-reference with other MIL-DTL-83513 compliant manufacturers if supply chain constraints exist, ensuring identical pin count, pitch, and mounting style.
