10028886-004A

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10028886-004A is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for surface mount or right-angle through-hole termination. It features a 64-position configuration, specifically arranged as 24 signal and 40 power contacts. The connector utilizes mixed pitch dimensions of 2.54 mm and 1.27 mm to accommodate distinct signal and power requirements within a single interface. Gold plating on the contacts ensures reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. This component belongs to the Power Edge series, providing a robust solution for high-density board-to-board connections in demanding electronic applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female design supporting simultaneous signal and power transmission
• Mixed pitch architecture combining 2.54 mm and 1.27 mm spacing
• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced durability and electrical performance
• Right-angle mounting orientation for compact PCB integration

Applications

• High-density data processing systems requiring mixed signal/power interfaces
• Industrial control boards with specific power and signal separation needs
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge form factors
• Consumer electronics requiring robust right-angle connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation when ordering, as variations such as -LF or -B may indicate different plating thicknesses or packaging types. Confirm that the required gold plating specification matches the project's reliability standards. Ensure the PCB footprint aligns with the mixed pitch layout of 2.54 mm and 1.27 mm. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding the thermoplastic housing during reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge interface is mandatory for space-constrained designs. The mixed pitch allows for optimized trace routing by separating high-current power lines from sensitive signals. Consider the right-angle profile if vertical clearance is limited but horizontal board space is available. Verify that the 7 A current rating meets the power distribution requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This component is part of the Amphenol FCI Power Edge series, a widely used family of card edge connectors known for their reliability in industrial and commercial markets. The 10028886 series specifically addresses the need for high pin counts in a compact footprint. As an Amphenol ICC product, it benefits from extensive manufacturing standards and global supply chain support established after the acquisition of FCI.

Replacement Considerations

The 10028886-004CLF is a verified alternative offering similar specifications with lead-free compliance. The 10028886-004B variant shares the same physical dimensions and contact arrangement but may differ in specific plating or packaging details. Always verify mechanical compatibility and electrical ratings before substituting.
