10108777-10003ZLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10108777-10003ZLF is a PCI Express Gen 3 card edge connector designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 164 positions with a 1.57mm pitch, accommodating a 1.57mm thick card. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating finish to ensure reliable signal integrity and low contact resistance in high-speed data applications.

Feature Summary

• Supports PCI Express Gen 3 specifications for high-speed data transmission
• Vertical through-hole termination for secure board attachment
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Integrated board guide and locking ramp mechanisms for precise alignment

Applications

• High-performance computing server backplanes
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control systems requiring PCIe connectivity
• Network switching hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and specific packaging requirements directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before ordering. Confirm that the current revision matches the design-in specifications, as component revisions may affect mechanical dimensions or material composition without altering the part number function.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a vertical, through-hole PCI Express interface is required for cards up to 1.57mm thickness. Ensure the mating card edge profile aligns with the connector's guide and locking features. Consider thermal management and signal integrity requirements associated with Gen 3 speeds when designing the PCB layout.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Amphenol FCI PCI Express connector family, which provides standardized interfaces for expansion cards. The 10108777 series is engineered for robust mechanical retention and electrical performance in demanding environments, supporting the transition to higher bandwidth standards in modern electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 164-position count, vertical orientation, through-hole termination, and 1.57mm pitch. Verify compatibility with existing board guides and locking mechanisms. Cross-reference with other Amphenol FCI series connectors only if mechanical and electrical specifications are identical.
