VSM-08-50-100-50-00-N

Overview

The VSM-08-50-100-50-00-N is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It is a plug with 300 positions arranged in 6 rows and 50 columns. The connector features a plastic body, vertical orientation, and press-fit termination for board mounting. It includes a guide pin to accommodate boards up to 0.125 inches thick. The contact pitch is 0.050 inches (1.27 mm), and it utilizes gold-plated male pins.

Feature Summary

• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards
• High-density interconnect capability with 300 circuits
• Integrated guide pin for precise alignment during mating

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring high pin count connectivity
• Radar and electronic warfare equipment
• Ground-based military communication arrays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm material or plating specifications, as suffixes often denote critical variations. Confirm availability through authorized Molex distributors, as this item may be subject to special order status. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts regarding the 10.00mm board spacing requirement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, ruggedized plug is required for MIL-DTL-83513 applications. The 6-row configuration supports significant circuit density within a compact footprint. Verify that the press-fit termination method aligns with the target PCB manufacturing capabilities and that the vertical form factor fits the enclosure constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, designed for demanding environments. The series offers various row counts and termination styles. The VSM prefix indicates a plug configuration. The model number encodes the row count (08), column count (50), and other physical attributes, distinguishing it from receptacles or different pitch variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 300-position, 6-row, 50-column layout and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 0.050-inch pitch and press-fit termination style to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability without redesigning the host assembly.
