VSM-05-10-200-50-00-L

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-05-10-200-50-00-L is a rectangular military specification connector from the verSI series, manufactured by Molex/AirBorn. It features a vertical male plug design with a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch and press-fit termination style. The component provides 250 positions arranged in 5 rows and 10 columns. It utilizes gold-plated beryllium copper contacts within a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) plastic body. Designed for board stacking applications, it supports a maximum board spacing of 20.00 mm and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

• Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Compatible with MIL-DTL-83513 standards for rugged environmental performance

Applications

• Vertical board stacking interconnects
• Military and aerospace electronic systems
• High-density PCB mounting applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact physical dimensions and termination requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target board thickness and stack-up height before procurement. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the project's conductivity and corrosion resistance standards. Cross-reference the part number with the latest revision history to avoid obsolete configurations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male connector with a 1.27 mm pitch is required for high-density interconnects. The 250-position capacity suits applications needing extensive I/O in a compact footprint. Verify that the press-fit termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities of the assembly line. Ensure the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C meets the environmental conditions of the deployment site.

Part Context
