VSM-10-20-080-50-03-L

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-10-20-080-50-03-L is a vertical male board stacking connector from the verSI series, designed for PCB-mount applications requiring a male interface. It features a 1.27 mm pitch and comprises 10 rows and 20 columns, totaling 200 positions. The unit utilizes through-hole termination with a 0.109-inch tail length and includes locking screws as an option. Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts plated in gold and a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing, it supports MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male interface configuration for board stacking
• Signal-integrity optimized design with 1.27 mm pitch
• Through-hole termination style with guide pin compatibility

Applications

• Vertical PCB-mount interconnects requiring male interfaces
• Board stacking applications utilizing signal-integrity connectors
• Military specification environments adhering to MIL-DTL-83513

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination tail length and locking mechanism configuration against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the LCP housing material and gold plating specifications align with the required environmental operating temperatures. Ensure the ordering suffix accurately reflects the desired mounting hardware options to prevent integration errors during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male connection is required within a constrained 1.27 mm pitch environment. Consider the LCP housing for high-temperature stability up to +125 C and the phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity. Evaluate the through-hole termination profile against available PCB thickness constraints to ensure proper mechanical engagement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which provides rectangular military specification connectors. The series offers various row and column configurations to accommodate different circuit densities while maintaining a consistent 1.27 mm pitch. The VSM variant specifically denotes vertical male plugs suitable for board-to-board or backplane stacking architectures.
