VSM-06-20-200-50-04-L1

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-06-20-200-50-04-L1 is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the verSI series, designed for high-density board-to-board stacking applications. It features a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch with 6 rows and 20 columns, providing a total of 120 positions. The component utilizes male pin contacts with gold plating and is terminated via through-hole mounting with a 0.140-inch tail length. Constructed with a plastic body, it supports a maximum board spacing of 20.00 mm and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• High-density interconnect capability with 120 circuits in a compact form factor
• Compatible with MIL-DTL-83513 standards for rugged military and aerospace environments
• Supports vertical board stacking with precise guide pin alignment
• Utilizes liquid crystal polymer housing for thermal stability

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring reliable signal integrity
• Aerospace communication equipment interfaces
• High-density electronic module stacking
• Ruggedized industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L1' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm lead time and availability status, as this may indicate a special order or specific packaging configuration. Confirm that the required mating receptacles are selected from the same verSI series to ensure proper mechanical engagement and electrical continuity. Always check for recent product change notifications regarding material updates or manufacturing site transfers before finalizing procurement contracts.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 120-position male plug is required for vertical board-to-board connections with a 20mm stack height. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.140-inch termination tail length for through-hole assembly. Verify that the mating receptacle supports the same 1.27mm pitch and row/column configuration. Consider the operating temperature range and environmental sealing requirements if the application involves extreme conditions or vibration.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which specializes in high-performance, high-density connectors for demanding environments. The series is known for its small form factor and robust construction, often complying with MIL-DTL-83513 specifications. The manufacturer, now part of Molex, continues to produce these connectors for legacy and new defense and aerospace platforms.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 120-position count, 6-row by 20-column layout, and 1.27mm pitch. Verify that any substitute part maintains the same through-hole termination style and 20mm board spacing. Cross-reference with other MIL-DTL-83513 compliant manufacturers if AirBorn/Molex supply is unavailable, ensuring identical mechanical dimensions and contact plating specifications.
