VSM-04-50-200-50-04-N1

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-04-50-200-50-04-N1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 plug connector from the verSI series. It features a plastic body with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch and supports 200 positions arranged in 4 rows of 50 columns. Designed for through-hole board mount installation, it utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated at 2A current and 200V voltage. The unit operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and includes fixed jacknuts for secure attachment.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes liquid crystal polymer insulation for high thermal stability
• Gold-plated contacts ensure durable low-resistance signal transmission

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring verified interconnects
• Ruggedized ground support equipment
• High-density electronic assemblies in harsh environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N1' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact plating thickness or environmental rating variations compared to standard 'N' suffixes. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles such as the VRRAF series. Confirm RoHS status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200-position male plug is required for vertical through-hole mounting. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for high density. Ensure the mating interface uses compatible female sockets. Verify that the board thickness accommodates the fixed jacknut design constraints specified in the datasheet.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI family of rectangular connectors. These components are engineered for demanding applications where space efficiency and connection integrity are critical. The series offers various row and column configurations to meet diverse circuit count requirements while maintaining strict military performance standards.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other MIL-DTL-83513 compliant plugs with identical 200-position, 4-row, through-hole configurations. Verify pinout alignment and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
