VSM-05-10-100-50-03-N

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-05-10-100-50-03-N is a vertical male board stacking connector from the verSI series, designed for high-density PCB mounting. It features a 1.27 mm pitch and comprises 5 rows with 10 columns, providing 50 positions. The unit utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) body. Termination is achieved via through-hole pins with a 0.109-inch tail length. Designed to MIL-DTL-83513 standards, it supports a maximum board spacing of 10.00 mm and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface configuration optimized for board stacking applications
• Liquid crystal polymer insulator provides structural stability and thermal resistance
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable signal integrity
• Fixed jacknut design accommodates specific maximum board thickness constraints

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems requiring rugged interconnects
• High-density vertical printed circuit board stacking modules
• Signal-integrity critical data transmission environments
• Ruggedized equipment operating under extreme thermal conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact termination tail length and board spacing requirements against the specific application stack-up before ordering. Confirm that the fixed jacknut option aligns with the assembly tooling and maximum board thickness specifications. Ensure compliance with relevant military standards and environmental certifications required for the target deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male plug is required for rigid board-to-board connections. Consider the 1.27 mm pitch density and the specific row-column combination to match circuit count needs. Evaluate the through-hole termination style against available PCB fabrication capabilities and ensure the LCP material properties suit the operational thermal profile.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI rectangular connector family, which adheres to MIL-DTL-83513 specifications. The series offers various termination styles and configurations for demanding industrial and defense applications. The VSM suffix indicates a vertical male orientation, distinguishing it from right-angle or female receptacle variants within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 1.27 mm pitch, 5-row by 10-column layout, and vertical male pin configuration. Verify compatibility with existing MIL-DTL-83513 mating interfaces and ensure identical electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions for seamless integration.
