VSRAF-04-50-50-03-N

Overview

The VSRAF-04-50-50-03-N is a rectangular MIL-Spec connector from the AirBorn verSI series, manufactured by Molex. It functions as a receptacle with 200 positions arranged in 10 rows and 20 columns. The component utilizes a press-fit termination method for board mounting and features female socket contacts. Key specifications include a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, gold-plated contacts, and compliance with MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications for rugged reliability
• Utilizes press-fit termination for secure board mounting without soldering
• Features gold-plated female socket contacts for low contact resistance
• Designed with a high-density 10-row configuration for compact integration

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring MIL-DTL-83513 compliance
• Ruggedized electronic enclosures demanding high I/O density
• Board-to-board interconnects in harsh environmental conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure correct termination style and body orientation. Confirm that the press-fit variant matches the target PCB design requirements. Cross-reference the 200-position count and 10-row layout with system schematics to prevent installation errors. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs within the same verSI series family.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, MIL-spec receptacle with press-fit termination is required. The 10-row configuration supports significant signal counts in a constrained footprint. Verify that the PCB manufacturing process accommodates press-fit assembly forces. Consider the right-angle orientation if space constraints dictate non-vertical routing relative to the board surface.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn verSI series, which offers various configurations of rectangular connectors compliant with MIL-DTL-83513. The series includes both plug and receptacle options with different row counts and termination styles. The VSRAF designation specifically indicates a receptacle with a metal or plastic body depending on the full code, here specified as a high-pin-count variant.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 200-position count, 10-row layout, press-fit termination, and MIL-DTL-83513 compliance. Verify pinout compatibility with mating connectors. Alternative parts from other manufacturers may require mechanical re-evaluation due to potential differences in housing dimensions or jacknut specifications.
