10115859-016LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10115859-016LF is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the HPCE® series. It features 60 positions, configured as 24 signal and 36 power contacts. The connector utilizes a press-fit termination method for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. Contact surfaces are finished with gold or Gold GXT™ plating over a copper alloy base to ensure reliable conductivity. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic plastic, designed for non-specified dual-edge cards with a thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm).

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration supporting both signal and power transmission within a single housing unit.
• Press-fit termination technology enables secure mechanical attachment and electrical connection without soldering.
• Integrated board lock feature provides additional stability and retention force during operation.

Applications

• High-density backplane interconnects in telecommunications infrastructure.
• Signal and power distribution in industrial control systems.
• Data processing equipment requiring robust dual-edge card connections.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required contact plating specification, as variations may exist between standard gold and Gold GXT™ finishes. Confirm the package type corresponds to tray packaging for handling compatibility. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly states the RoHS compliance status and current active part status to avoid receiving obsolete or non-compliant inventory.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-reliability press-fit solution is required for dual-edge cards. The HPCE® series offers enhanced durability compared to standard connectors. Consider the thermal operating range of -55°C to 105°C for environmental suitability. Evaluate the 60-position capacity against system pin count requirements to ensure optimal space utilization on the host PCB.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the HPCE® (High Performance Card Edge) family, designed for demanding applications. It serves as a critical interface between peripheral cards and the main system board. The product line emphasizes mechanical strength and long-term cycle reliability, distinguishing it from general-purpose card edge connectors used in less critical consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other HPCE® series variants for compatible form factors. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 60-position layout and press-fit termination style. Ensure any alternative maintains the dual-edge female configuration and compatible card thickness specifications.
