VSM-08-50-080-50-06-N1

Overview

The VSM-08-50-080-50-06-N1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 plug connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a plastic body and vertical through-hole termination. The unit comprises 50 columns and 5 rows, providing 400 circuits. Key physical specifications include an 8.00mm board spacing, a 0.172-inch tail length, and fixed jacknuts designed for board thicknesses between 0.125 and 0.250 inches.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for signal integrity
• Constructed with liquid crystal polymer housing for thermal stability
• Includes fixed jacknuts for secure mounting on specified board thicknesses

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Ruggedized ground-based communication equipment
• High-speed data transmission modules in defense applications
• Board-to-board connections in harsh environmental conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify the current manufacturer designation as Molex / AirBorn due to corporate acquisition. Confirm that the fixed jacknut configuration matches the specific mechanical constraints of the target assembly, particularly regarding the 0.125 to 0.250 inch board thickness range. Ensure compatibility with the 0.050-inch pitch grid during layout planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, vertically mounted connector is required for MIL-Spec environments. The 400-position capacity supports complex signal routing. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C meets the system's thermal requirements. Ensure the through-hole footprint aligns with the PCB manufacturing capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the verSI series, which offers high-density interconnect solutions within the MIL-DTL-83513 framework. The series is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for demanding aerospace and defense applications. AirBorn, now part of Molex, continues to produce these connectors under updated branding while maintaining original performance standards.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other verSI series variants if pin counts or row configurations differ. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 0.050-inch pitch and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. Verify that alternative parts support the same 400-circuit requirement and physical mounting dimensions.
