# AirBorn 00514-0433-0017 REV A: Sourcing a High-Reliability Board-Mount Connector The 00514-0433-0017 REV A is a rectangular board-mount connector from AirBorn, a manufacturer known for high-reliability interconnects used in defense, aerospace, space and rugged industrial equipment. It is listed in the specialized backplane connector category and supplied in bags. AirBorn connectors are often built to customer drawings or military specifications, which is why the public catalog record carries few details. Before quoting or designing in, engineers should obtain the AirBorn drawing and confirm contact count and arrangement, pitch, termination style, plating, current rating, mating part number and any qualification standard. The REV A suffix is important: revision letters can reflect changes in materials, plating or dimensions, so the revision on the purchase order must match the approved drawing and the bill of materials. Because these parts serve long-life programs, buyers frequently need small quantities years after original production. Independent distributors can locate remaining stock, but buyers should request certificates of conformance, lot and date-code information, and inspect packaging and contacts on receipt. Proper storage in sealed packaging helps protect contact finishes, and many programs buy enough spares for the remaining service life to avoid repeated obsolescence searches. Detailed parameters, pricing and stock are listed on the [00514-0433-0017 REV A AirBorn rectangular board-mount connector](https://chipapex.com/product/00514-0433-0017-rev-a/) page at ChipApex, an independent electronic components distributor in Shenzhen.
