VSM-05-20-100-50-06-N1

Overview

The VSM-05-20-100-50-06-N1 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. Designed for through-hole termination, it supports a board spacing of 8.00mm and includes fixed jacknuts compatible with board thicknesses between 0.125 and 0.250 inches. The assembly comprises 50 columns and 5 rows, providing 250 circuits.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards for rugged military applications
• Utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Constructed with liquid crystal polymer housing for thermal stability
• Engineered for high-density vertical PCB mounting configurations

Applications

• Vertical board-to-board interconnections in defense systems
• High-reliability avionics circuit integration
• Ruggedized electronic equipment requiring MIL-Spec compliance
• Signal integrity critical data bus architectures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact termination length and jacknut specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same verSI series. Confirm RoHS status and environmental certifications required for the target deployment environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male plug interface is required for rigid board stacking. The 1.27mm pitch allows for dense circuit layouts while maintaining mechanical robustness. Consider the 8mm board spacing requirement and ensure the design accommodates the specified tail length for proper through-hole soldering and structural support.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI family of signal-integrity connectors designed for demanding environments. The series offers various termination options including press-fit and paste-in-hole, alongside standard plated thru-hole variants. These connectors are engineered to maintain performance under severe vibration and thermal cycling conditions typical of aerospace and military platforms.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 5x50 pin configuration, 1.27mm pitch, and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. Verify that alternative suppliers offer identical board spacing and termination dimensions to ensure mechanical fit without redesigning the host printed circuit board assembly.
