VSM-10-40-080-50-04-L1

Overview

The VSM-10-40-080-50-04-L1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 Series I plug manufactured by AirBorn, a Molex company. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with 40 columns and 10 rows, providing 400 positions. The connector utilizes a plastic body and through-hole termination for board mounting. It includes fixed jacknuts for securing to the chassis with a maximum board thickness of 0.125 inches. The design supports high-density interconnects in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• High-density 400-position configuration within a compact rectangular form factor
• Robust mechanical coupling via fixed jacknuts for secure panel mounting
• Compatible with standard MIL-DTL-83513 Series I mating receptacles

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring high pin count interconnects
• Radar and electronic warfare equipment enclosures
• Ground-based communication infrastructure control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix L1 against your assembly drawings to ensure correct housing material and environmental sealing characteristics. Confirm that the 400-pin density aligns with your PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the jacknut type with your chassis cutout specifications to guarantee proper mechanical fit during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-count male plug is required for vertical board-to-panel mounting. Ensure the mating receptacle belongs to the same Series I family to maintain compatibility. Evaluate the 0.050-inch pitch against signal integrity requirements for your specific frequency applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn Series I line, designed for rugged military and aerospace applications. The series offers various row and column combinations to accommodate different circuit densities while maintaining standardized interface dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Series I plugs with identical 40-column and 10-row configurations. Verify that any alternative maintains the same through-hole termination style and fixed jacknut attachment method.
