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

Overview

The VSM-06-20-100-50-06-N1 is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It features a vertical male pin configuration with a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. The component has 6 rows and 20 columns, providing 120 positions. Termination is achieved via through-hole mounting with a 0.172-inch tail length. The contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze, housed in a liquid crystal polymer body. It complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes high-density 1.27 mm pitch for compact board stacking
• Features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for stable signal integrity
• Constructed with liquid crystal polymer insulation for thermal stability

Applications

• Avionics control and display systems
• Spacecraft and satellite interconnects
• Missile guidance and electronic warfare equipment
• Board-to-board stacking in harsh environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N1' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm material or plating variations compared to standard 'G' or 'J' suffixes. Confirm current manufacturing status as this series may be subject to factory special order constraints. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles such as the VSF series before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring verified MIL-DTL-83513 compliance and high-density vertical interconnects. The 120-position count suits complex signal routing needs. Ensure PCB design accommodates the 0.172-inch termination tail length and 10.00mm board spacing requirements inherent to this model's physical dimensions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI family, designed for high-reliability military and aerospace sectors. The VSM prefix denotes a vertical male plug configuration. The series is characterized by its small form factor and robust construction, widely used in flight-critical systems where vibration resistance and electrical performance are paramount.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other VSM series variants with matching row/column counts and termination styles. Verify that alternative suffixes do not alter critical interface parameters. Mating components must be selected from the corresponding VSF (receptacle) series to ensure proper mechanical engagement.
