VSM-08-50-100-50-04-N1

Overview

The VSM-08-50-100-50-04-N1 is a rectangular military specification 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 component provides 400 circuits arranged in 10 columns and 4 rows. It includes fixed jacknuts for board mounting with a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards for rugged military applications
• Utilizes open-pin field construction for customizable contact configurations
• Features gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission

Applications

• Avionics systems
• Missile guidance systems
• Radar equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and environmental sealing requirements against the project specifications. Confirm that the fixed jacknut configuration matches the chassis panel thickness constraints. Ensure compatibility with the mating receptacle series to guarantee proper interconnection integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this model for high-density interconnects requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. The 0.050-inch pitch supports significant circuit density within constrained volumes. Verify that the vertical through-hole mounting style aligns with the PCB assembly process and mechanical stability needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI family of open-pin field connectors. These connectors are designed for harsh environments and offer flexible contact arrangements. The series is widely used in aerospace and defense sectors where reliability under extreme conditions is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-83513 standard and physical dimensions. Verify pin count, row/column configuration, and termination type before substitution.
