10112690-F03-18ULF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10112690-F03-18ULF is a Minitek header connector designed for surface mount applications. It features an unshrouded right-angle style with 18 positions and a 2.00mm pitch. The component utilizes male pin contacts made of copper alloy, suitable for board-to-cable or wire connections.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount right-angle header configuration
• Unshrouded design for flexible routing
• Male pin contact type for secure mating

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-cable interconnects
• Wire-to-board assemblies
• General electronic device internal connections

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ULF' against current manufacturer documentation to confirm lead-free compliance status and material specifications. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact 18-position count and right-angle orientation required for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet for reflow soldering profile recommendations to guarantee joint integrity during assembly processes.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle connection is required between a rigid board and flexible cabling. The 2.00mm pitch offers a balance between density and manufacturability. Consider the unshrouded nature for space constraints where guide rails are unnecessary. Confirm that the copper alloy contact material meets the mechanical durability requirements for the intended insertion cycles.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Minitek series by Amphenol ICC (FCI), focusing on compact board-to-board and board-to-wire solutions. The 10112690 base number indicates a standard header family, while the F03-18ULF suffix defines the specific position count, style, and finish. It serves as a reliable interconnect option in consumer electronics and industrial equipment requiring robust surface-mounted connections.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Minitek series include other position variants such as 10112690-G05-06LF or 10112690-F0414LF, provided the pitch and mounting style match. Verify that any alternative maintains the same right-angle orientation and unshrouded design to ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and cable harnesses.
