VSM-08-50-200-50-06-L1

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-08-50-200-50-06-L1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 Series plug connector manufactured by Molex/AirBorn. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a plastic body and vertical through-hole termination style. The component provides 400 positions arranged in 8 rows and 50 columns, utilizing gold-plated male pins. Designed for board mounting, it includes guide pins and fixed jacknuts to accommodate a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged reliability
• High-density configuration supporting 400 circuits in a compact footprint
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure stable signal transmission
• Integrated guide pin system facilitates precise alignment during mating

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Military communication equipment
• Ruggedized data processing units
• Defense radar and navigation subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffixes against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination details. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as availability may vary based on production schedules and regional restrictions.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a high-pin-count solution is required within strict MIL-DTL-83513 form factors. Ensure the host PCB design accommodates the specified 0.050-inch pitch and through-hole mounting requirements. Verify that the mating environment supports the use of fixed jacknuts and guide pins for secure assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, designed for demanding environments where space constraints and signal integrity are critical. The series offers various row and column configurations to meet diverse circuit density needs while maintaining compatibility with standard MIL-DTL-83513 shell sizes and accessories.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 8-row, 50-column layout and 0.050-inch pitch. Verify equivalent MIL-DTL-83513 compliant connectors from other manufacturers if AirBorn supply is limited, ensuring identical mechanical interfaces and electrical ratings.
