Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10025026-10003PLF is a female card edge connector designed for PCI Express applications. It features 164 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.039 inch (1.00 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a finish thickness of 30.0 µin (0.76 µm). It supports board edge and straddle mount installation types, accommodating a card thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The housing is black polyamide (PA), nylon, glass-filled, rated for operation between -55°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration providing 164 contact positions for high-density signal routing
• Straddle mount flange feature with unthreaded openings for secure board attachment
• Locking ramp mechanism integrated into the design to ensure stable connection engagement

Applications

• PCI Express card extender modules
• High-speed digital signal interconnects
• Server and storage system backplanes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free requirements. Ensure the selected variant matches the required mounting style and contact finish specifications for the target application environment. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to confirm availability status and lead times prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with a 1.00 mm pitch is required for PCI Express systems. The straddle mount option provides mechanical stability for heavy cards. Verify that the host board layout accommodates the specific flange opening dimensions and that the mating card thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification to ensure proper contact engagement and electrical performance.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Amphenol FCI family of high-performance interconnect solutions. The brand was formed following Amphenol's acquisition of FCI, combining expertise in signal integrity and power management. This specific model represents a standard solution for expansion slots and card edge interfaces in commercial electronics and data communication infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 10025026-10000TLF, which shares identical mechanical and electrical characteristics but may differ in packaging or specific suffix designations. Always verify pin count, pitch, and mounting style compatibility before substituting.
