Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official AirBorn documentation to confirm it denotes the #2-56 locking screw option, as standard configurations may vary. Ensure the selected variant matches the required mechanical retention method for the target assembly. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet revision to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance details before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a vertical male interface is required for board stacking with a 1.27 mm pitch. The 10-row by 20-column layout provides 200 circuits suitable for high-density designs. Confirm that the press-fit termination aligns with the PCB fabrication capabilities. Verify that the 8 mm board spacing accommodates the mechanical stack-up requirements of the application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn VSM series, which specializes in vertical male connectors for board stacking. The series supports various row and column combinations with options for different termination styles including press-fit, paste-in-hole, and plated thru-hole. The VSM line is engineered for signal integrity in demanding environments, often adhering to MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official AirBorn substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic rectangular connectors may not match the specific 1.27 mm pitch or vertical male interface geometry required for proper board stacking alignment.
