VSM-10-10-080-50-04-L1

Overview

The VSM-10-10-080-50-04-L1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 connector from the AirBorn verSI series. It features a 10-row configuration with 50 positions per row, totaling 500 circuits. The plug utilizes press-fit termination for board mounting and includes gold-plated male pins. Designed for high-density applications, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• High-density interconnect capability with 500 circuits in a compact form factor
• Compliance with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged environments
• Press-fit termination ensures reliable mechanical and electrical connection without soldering

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high pin counts
• Ruggedized communication equipment
• Defense ground station interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L1' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm material or plating variations. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles in the same verSI series. Confirm that the press-fit termination method aligns with your PCB manufacturing capabilities and hole specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, MIL-spec solution is required. The 10-row layout maximizes circuit density. Verify that the press-fit termination is suitable for your assembly process compared to through-hole or surface mount alternatives. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, known for high-density rectangular connectors. The series offers various termination styles and row configurations to meet diverse MIL-DTL-83513 requirements. The VSM designation indicates a plug configuration within this standardized family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 500-position count, 10-row layout, and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. Verify mating interface dimensions and press-fit tail specifications before substitution.
