VSM-06-40-200-50-06-L1

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-06-40-200-50-06-L1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 style plug connector from the verSI series. It features 6 rows and 40 columns, providing 240 positions with male pin contacts. The unit utilizes a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch and gold-plated beryllium copper terminals housed in a gray liquid crystal polymer body. Designed for through-hole board mount installation at a straight angle, it supports high-speed applications with a current rating of 2 A per contact and voltage ratings up to 200 V.

Feature Summary

• High-density interconnect capability with 240 circuits in a compact form factor
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal integrity for high-speed data transmission
• Ruggedized construction compliant with military specifications for harsh environments

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high pin count connectivity
• Ground-based radar and communication equipment
• Industrial control panels demanding rugged reliability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L1' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm lead times and manufacturing status, as this variant may be subject to factory special order constraints. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same verSI series. Confirm that the through-hole termination method aligns with your PCB fabrication capabilities and thermal profiling requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 240-position solution is required in a standard rectangular footprint. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for significant circuit density while maintaining spacing standards. Choose the gold plating option if corrosion resistance and low contact resistance are critical for long-term performance in exposed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, designed to meet MIL-DTL-83513 standards. The series offers various row and column configurations to accommodate different circuit counts. The VSM designation indicates a plug configuration with specific mounting and termination characteristics distinct from other series variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 240 position count, 6-row layout, and 0.050-inch pitch. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer equivalent MIL-DTL-83513 compliance and identical mechanical dimensions for panel cutouts and mating interfaces.
