VSM-05-20-080-50-00-L

Overview

The VSM-05-20-080-50-00-L is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn verSI series. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a plastic body and vertical orientation. This board stacking plug utilizes press-fit termination for secure PCB mounting. The component provides 100 positions arranged in 5 rows, utilizing male pin contacts. It is designed for applications requiring robust interconnection within defined board spacing constraints.

Feature Summary

• Vertical press-fit termination ensures reliable board-to-board connection without soldering
• Military specification construction supports operation in demanding environments
• Gold-plated male pin contacts provide durable signal transmission

Applications

• Board stacking assemblies
• Mezzanine card interconnections
• Military and aerospace electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and locking mechanisms. Confirm RoHS compliance status and current manufacturing availability directly with the supplier, as factory special orders may apply.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, press-fit solution is required for high-density interconnects. Ensure the target PCB stack height matches the specified 8.00mm board spacing. Verify that the 5-row configuration aligns with the circuit density requirements of the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which offers various configurations for board-to-board applications. The manufacturer, now operating under Molex, maintains strict adherence to MIL-DTL-83513 standards for these connectors, ensuring consistency across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference guides for compatible substitutes. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 0.050-inch pitch, 100-position count, and press-fit termination style to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
