VSM-08-50-100-50-03-L

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-08-50-100-50-03-L is a rectangular military specification connector from the verSI series. It features a 1.27 mm pitch and consists of 8 rows with 50 columns, providing 400 positions. The component utilizes a vertical through-hole termination style with male pin contacts. Constructed with a plastic body and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, it supports a board spacing of 100 mm. Designed for PCB mounting, this plug operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and carries an MIL-DTL-83513 classification.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface designed for board stacking applications
• Military specification compliance ensuring rugged reliability
• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance

Applications

• Vertical PCB mounting in high-density interconnect systems
• Board-to-board signal transmission in aerospace environments
• Ruggedized electronic assemblies requiring MIL-DTL-83513 standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official AirBorn documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and termination details. Confirm material specifications and contact plating requirements match the design intent. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same verSI series family before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a high-count vertical male connector with a 1.27 mm pitch. The 8-row configuration suits dense signal routing needs. Verify that the 100 mm board spacing aligns with the mechanical stack-up requirements. Ensure the through-hole termination method is compatible with the target PCB fabrication capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which offers various row and column configurations. The VSM prefix indicates a vertical male plug. The series provides standardized interfaces for military and industrial sectors, allowing for modular expansion through consistent pitch and mating geometries across different part numbers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other VSM-series connectors with identical row and column counts, such as VSM-08-50-100-50-03-N or VSM-08-50-100-50-06-G, provided the termination and plating variations are acceptable for the application.
