VSM-10-20-100-50-03-N

Overview

The AirBorn VSM-10-20-100-50-03-N is a rectangular military specification connector plug from the verSI series. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a plastic body and vertical through-hole termination style. The component provides 200 positions arranged in 10 rows and 20 columns, utilizing male pin contacts. Designed for board mount installation, it includes a guide pin to accommodate a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches.

Feature Summary

• High-density interconnect capability with 200 circuits in a compact form factor
• Robust mechanical alignment via integrated guide pin system
• Military-grade construction compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 standards
• Vertical orientation optimized for standard printed circuit board mounting

Applications

• Avionics systems requiring high-density signal routing
• Ruggedized military communication equipment
• Industrial control modules demanding reliable interconnects
• Defense electronics platforms subject to strict environmental standards

Procurement Notes

Verify exact configuration against official datasheets before ordering. Confirm that the specific suffix matches required contact plating and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same series. Check for any recent product change notifications or brand transition updates from Molex/AirBorn regarding manufacturing origins or material compositions.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring high I/O density in a vertical through-hole format. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.050-inch pitch and 200-position layout. Verify that the board thickness does not exceed the guide pin limit of 0.125 inches. Consider thermal management requirements given the high pin count and potential current ratings associated with military-grade connectors.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, known for high-density rectangular connectors. The series is widely used in aerospace and defense sectors where reliability under harsh conditions is critical. As a Molex company product, it maintains legacy AirBorn performance standards while benefiting from broader supply chain support.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 200-position count, 10-row configuration, and vertical through-hole termination. Verify identical MIL-DTL-83513 compliance and physical dimensions for panel cutouts. Cross-reference with other verSI series variants only if electrical characteristics and housing materials are confirmed equivalent.
