VSM-05-40-100-50-04-N1

Overview

The VSM-05-40-100-50-04-N1 is a vertical male board stacking connector from the AirBorn verSI series. It features a 1.27 mm pitch and consists of 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 tail length. Contact plating is specified as 30 µin gold over nickel. The housing is constructed from liquid crystal polymer (LCP), and the contacts are made of phosphor bronze. This component is designed for PCB-mount applications requiring a male interface.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface design for board stacking applications
• High-density rectangular configuration with 1.27 mm pitch
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Liquid crystal polymer insulator for thermal stability

Applications

• Vertical board-to-board interconnection
• Multi-layer PCB stacking systems
• Military and aerospace electronic assemblies
• High-density mezzanine connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination tail length and guide pin requirements against the mechanical drawing before finalizing the design. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the exact contact plating thickness and termination style intended for the assembly process. Ensure compatibility with the mating receptacle within the same verSI series family to maintain proper alignment and electrical performance.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a vertical male plug is required for high-density interconnects. The 5-row by 40-column configuration offers a balanced footprint for complex signal routing. Consider the 10 mm board spacing constraint and ensure the PCB stack-up accommodates the 0.140 inch termination length. Verify environmental ratings if operating in extreme temperatures.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which provides MIL-DTL-83513 compliant rectangular connectors. The series supports various termination styles including press-fit and through-hole options. The VSM designation indicates a vertical male plug configuration, distinguishing it from right-angle or female receptacle variants within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.27 mm pitch, 5x40 position count, and 10 mm board spacing. Verify that any alternative maintains the same vertical orientation and male contact gender. Cross-referencing with other manufacturers requires careful validation of mechanical dimensions and material specifications.
