VSM-05-40-100-50-03-L

Overview

The VSM-05-40-100-50-03-L is a rectangular plug from the AirBorn verSI series, designed for high-density interconnect applications. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch and a plastic body construction. This component is configured as a vertical connector with through-hole termination, providing 200 positions across 5 rows and 40 columns. It includes fixed jacknuts for secure mounting and supports a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches.

Feature Summary

• High-density 200-position configuration utilizing a 0.050-inch pitch layout
• Vertical orientation with through-hole termination for reliable PCB integration
• Plastic body construction with fixed jacknut mounting hardware

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance
• High-speed data transmission modules in rugged environments
• Board-to-backplane interconnects in defense communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm termination style and mounting hardware variations. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and board thickness constraints before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with current datasheets to validate material specifications and environmental ratings.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count vertical connector with through-hole assembly is required. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for dense circuit routing within limited board areas. Verify that the application environment aligns with the operating temperature range and that the fixed jacknut design meets the mechanical retention requirements of the system chassis.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which offers modular rectangular connectors compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards. The series provides various termination options and row/column configurations to support diverse military and industrial connectivity needs while maintaining high reliability under harsh conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include VSM-05-40-100-50-03-N and VSM-05-40-100-50-03-G, which share identical pin counts and pitch but differ in mounting hardware or contact plating. Verify mechanical fit and electrical specifications before substitution.
