VSM-10-40-080-50-06-L1

Overview

The VSM-10-40-080-50-06-L1 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-83513 connector plug from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a plastic body and vertical through-hole termination. The assembly includes 40 columns and 10 rows, providing 400 positions. Key physical specifications include an 8.00mm board spacing and a tail length of 0.172 inches. It utilizes fixed jacknuts suitable for board thicknesses between 0.125 and 0.250 inches.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects
• Designed for high-density applications with a 0.050-inch contact pitch
• Features gold-plated male pin contacts housed in a durable plastic body
• Includes fixed jacknuts for secure mounting on specified board thicknesses

Applications

• Backplane interconnections
• High-speed signal transmission systems
• Military and aerospace electronic assemblies
• Ruggedized industrial control equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix L1 against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm lead-free status and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding board thickness constraints defined by the fixed jacknut design. Confirm current availability as distribution channels may vary. Cross-reference the full part number to avoid confusion with similar N1 or G1 variants that differ in termination or compliance attributes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, MIL-specification plug is required for vertical PCB mounting. The 400-position capacity supports dense circuit layouts within a compact footprint. Verify that the target application environment aligns with the material temperature ratings and that the mating connector matches the 0.050-inch pitch standard. Ensure mechanical clearance accommodates the 8.00mm board spacing requirement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which has transitioned under the Molex brand portfolio. The series is engineered for demanding environments requiring robust performance and reliability. As a MIL-DTL-83513 compliant device, it adheres to strict military standards for dimensional stability and electrical continuity, distinguishing it from commercial-grade alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 400-position count, 0.050-inch pitch, and MIL-DTL-83513 form factor. Verify that any alternative maintains the same vertical through-hole termination and fixed jacknut configuration to ensure mechanical interchangeability without modifying the host board layout.
