VSM-08-50-200-50-04-L1

Overview

The VSM-08-50-200-50-04-L1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 connector from the AirBorn verSI series. It features an 8-row by 50-column configuration, providing 400 positions with a 1.27 mm pitch. The component utilizes a plastic body and vertical orientation for PCB mounting. Termination is achieved via through-hole technology with a 0.140-inch tail length. Gold plating is applied to the contacts, and the unit includes fixed jacknuts accommodating up to 0.125-inch board thickness.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface designed for board stacking applications
• Plastic housing constructed from liquid crystal polymer
• Fixed jacknut system for secure board attachment
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts

Applications

• High-density vertical board-to-board interconnects
• Military and aerospace electronic systems
• Ruggedized telecommunications equipment
• Industrial control modules requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination tail length and contact plating thickness against the official datasheet before finalizing design integration. Confirm that the fixed jacknut specification aligns with the target printed circuit board thickness constraints. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same verSI series family to maintain signal integrity and mechanical fit.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a high-pin-count vertical male connector is required for rigid board stacking. The 8-row format supports significant I/O density within a compact footprint. Verify that the through-hole termination method suits the manufacturing capabilities of the assembly line. Consider the plastic body material properties regarding thermal resistance during soldering processes.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which provides rugged rectangular connectors compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards. The series offers various row and column combinations to accommodate different pin counts. The VSM designation indicates a vertical plug configuration, distinguishing it from right-angle or receptacle variants in the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other VSM-series parts with identical row and column counts but different termination lengths or plating options. Cross-reference with VRM-series components if right-angle mounting is acceptable instead of vertical. Ensure any replacement maintains the 1.27 mm pitch and MIL-DTL-83513 certification.
