VSRAM-05-10-50-00-N

Overview

The VSRAM-05-10-50-00-N is a rectangular military specification receptacle from the AirBorn VerSI series, manufactured by Molex. It features a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch with a plastic body and vertical press-fit termination style. The connector supports 10 rows and 50 columns, providing 500 total positions for socket contacts. Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts ensure reliable performance. Designed for board mount installation, it includes fixed jacknuts accommodating up to 0.125-inch maximum board thickness. This component complies with MIL-DTL-83513 standards.

Feature Summary

• Vertical press-fit termination for secure board mounting
• Gold-plated beryllium copper socket contacts
• Compliance with MIL-DTL-83513 military specifications

Applications

• Military aerospace electronic systems
• Ruggedized communication equipment
• High-density board-to-board interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and contact plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB drill patterns for the 0.050-inch pitch. Confirm that the fixed jacknut design aligns with the target assembly's board thickness constraints. Cross-reference the MIL-DTL-83513 compliance requirements with system-level qualification standards before final procurement authorization.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density vertical interconnection is required in rugged environments. The VerSI series offers a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained military applications. Consider the press-fit termination method if soldering is undesirable or if reworkability is needed. Evaluate the 500-position capacity against signal routing requirements. Ensure the plastic body material meets thermal and chemical resistance needs for the operational environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn VerSI series of rectangular connectors, known for their high density and reliability in demanding conditions. The series is widely used in defense and aerospace sectors where compliance with strict military standards is mandatory. The VSRAM variant specifically denotes a receptacle with right-angle or vertical orientation options within the broader family, offering versatile integration capabilities for complex electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the MIL-DTL-83513 standard, 0.050-inch pitch, and 500-position configuration. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical footprint equivalence. Alternative manufacturers may offer equivalent specs but require thorough validation of environmental ratings and contact material properties.
