VSM-08-20-200-50-04-L1

Overview

The VSM-08-20-200-50-04-L1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 connector from the AirBorn verSI series. It features an 8-row by 20-column configuration, providing 160 positions with a 1.27 mm pitch. The component utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing. Designed for vertical PCB mounting, it employs a through-hole termination style with a 0.140-inch tail length. The unit includes a guide pin option and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged performance
• Utilizes signal-integrity optimized design for high-density applications
• Features gold-plated contacts on phosphor bronze substrates
• Includes guide pin options for precise board alignment

Applications

• Vertical board stacking in defense systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the latest AirBorn documentation before ordering. Confirm that the L1 suffix aligns with current manufacturing revisions and does not imply functional changes without explicit datasheet confirmation. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding row count and termination style.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an 8-row configuration is required alongside a 20-column width. Verify that the 0.140-inch termination tail length matches the target PCB thickness. Confirm that the straight mounting angle fits the enclosure constraints and that the 1.27 mm pitch meets the circuit density requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI family, which specializes in vertical male connectors with 1.27 mm pitch. The VSM series provides various termination styles including press-fit and plated thru-hole. This specific variant focuses on standard through-hole assembly with enhanced mechanical stability via guide pins.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other VSM-08-20-200-50 variants if different termination lengths are needed. Verify compatibility with existing mating receptacles to ensure proper engagement and alignment.
