VSM-05-40-100-50-04-L1

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-05-40-100-50-04-L1 is a vertical male board stacking connector from the verSI series, designed for PCB-mount applications. It features a 1.27 mm pitch and comprises 5 rows and 40 columns, providing 200 positions. The unit utilizes a 10 mm board spacing and employs PTH termination with a 0.140 inch contact style. Contact plating is specified as 50 µ” gold, ensuring reliable signal integrity in high-density interconnect environments.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface configuration optimized for board stacking
• High-density rectangular layout supporting 200 circuit positions
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for durability
• Liquid crystal polymer insulator material

Applications

• Military avionics control systems
• Spacecraft electronic modules
• Radar and communication equipment
• Electronic warfare subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination variant against the datasheet to ensure compatibility with the target PCB hole size. Confirm that the ordering suffix corresponds to the required guide pin or mounting options. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest revision to validate compliance with current environmental standards before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male connection is required between stacked printed circuit boards. Ensure the design accommodates the 10 mm board spacing constraint. Verify that the 1.27 mm pitch aligns with the mating connector requirements. Consider the mechanical stability provided by the liquid crystal polymer housing for rugged operational environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which adheres to MIL-DTL-83513 standards. The series provides high-performance interconnect solutions for demanding sectors including aerospace and defense. The VSM designation indicates a vertical male orientation within the broader family of rectangular connectors manufactured by Molex/AirBorn.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other VSM series variants with matching row and column counts. Verify equivalent termination styles such as PTH 0.140 inches. Alternative models must maintain the 1.27 mm pitch and compatible board spacing dimensions to ensure physical and electrical interchangeability.
