VSM-08-50-100-50-04-L1

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-08-50-100-50-04-L1 is a vertical male board stacking connector from the verSI series. It features a 1.27 mm pitch and comprises 8 rows with 50 columns, providing 400 positions. The unit utilizes a 100 mm board spacing and gold contact plating. Termination is achieved via through-hole mounting. The connector complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface design for direct PCB stacking applications
• Compliance with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable signal integrity
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) housing material

Applications

• High-density vertical board-to-board interconnects
• Military and aerospace electronic systems
• Ruggedized communication equipment
• Avionics signal distribution networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination tail length and guide pin requirements against the target PCB stack-up before ordering. Confirm that the L1 suffix aligns with the required environmental sealing or locking mechanism specifications. Cross-reference the latest AirBorn datasheet revision to ensure compatibility with current manufacturing standards and RoHS compliance status.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-pin-count vertical connection is required between stacked printed circuit boards. Ensure the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range. Verify that the 1.27 mm pitch matches the footprint design rules of the host system. Consider the through-hole termination style for robust mechanical retention in vibration-prone environments.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI rectangular plug family. These connectors are engineered for demanding environments requiring high reliability. The series offers various row and column configurations to accommodate different density needs while maintaining consistent electrical performance across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.27 mm pitch, 400 position count, and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. Verify mechanical dimensions for board spacing and height compatibility. Alternative models within the same series may offer different termination styles but must maintain identical interface geometry.
