VSM-06-20-200-50-00-L

Overview

The VSM-06-20-200-50-00-L is a rectangular military specification connector from the AirBorn verSI series. It features a 1.27 mm pitch and consists of 6 rows with 20 columns, providing 120 positions. The component utilizes male pin contacts with gold plating and is designed for through-hole termination. It employs a plastic body constructed from liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and operates at a straight mounting angle. The unit supports a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards
• Signal integrity optimized design for high-density interconnects
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity
• Liquid crystal polymer housing for thermal stability

Applications

• High-reliability aerospace avionics systems
• Defense communication equipment interfaces
• Ruggedized industrial control panel connections
• Board-to-board stacking in harsh environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination style suffix against official datasheets, as generic codes may indicate variations such as press-fit or paste-in-hole. Confirm environmental compliance status and current manufacturing revisions directly with Molex/AirBorn before integration. Ensure mechanical compatibility with mating receptacles regarding guide pins and jacknuts.

Selection Notes

Select this variant for applications requiring vertical male plugs with through-hole termination. Compare board spacing requirements against the 20.00mm specification. Evaluate signal integrity needs against the 1.27mm pitch density. Consider alternative suffixes if surface-mount or press-fit termination is preferred over standard through-hole methods.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI family, which specializes in high-performance rectangular connectors. The series is characterized by its ability to maintain signal integrity in dense configurations. It serves as a critical interface solution within the broader Molex AirBorn portfolio of military and industrial interconnect products.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other VSM series variants sharing identical row/column counts but different termination styles. Verify equivalent MIL-DTL-83513 compliance for direct substitution. Check mating receptacle compatibility to ensure mechanical alignment and electrical continuity.
