VSM-05-10-200-50-03-N

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-05-10-200-50-03-N is a vertical male board stacking connector from the verSI series, designed for PCB-mount applications requiring a male interface. It features a 1.27 mm pitch and consists of 5 rows and 10 columns, providing 50 positions. The connector utilizes through-hole termination with a tail length of 0.109 inches and includes fixed jacknuts to accommodate a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches. Constructed with a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) body and phosphor bronze contacts plated with gold, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface design optimized for signal integrity in board stacking configurations
• Fixed jacknut mounting system ensures secure attachment with limited board thickness tolerance
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide reliable electrical performance
• Liquid crystal polymer housing offers thermal stability and structural support

Applications

• Vertical PCB mounting where male interconnects are required
• Board stacking assemblies utilizing fixed mechanical retention
• Military specification rectangular plug applications conforming to MIL-DTL-83513

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination style and option suffix against the official AirBorn datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the fixed jacknut configuration matches the assembly requirements, as other options like guide pins or jackscrews exist. Ensure the maximum board thickness constraint of 0.125 inches is compatible with the target design. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm current revision status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male connector with a 1.27 mm pitch is needed for rigid board-to-board connections. The fixed jacknut option is suitable for applications where board thickness does not exceed 0.125 inches. Consider alternative suffixes if guide pin alignment or adjustable jackscrew retention is required instead of fixed nuts. Verify compatibility with the target PCB stack-up height and available mounting space.

Part Context
