10118251-002LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10118251-002LF is a dual-sided female card edge connector designed for high-power applications. It features 60 positions arranged in two rows, utilizing a 2.54 mm pitch. The connector supports vertical installation via through-hole termination and includes board lock features for secure mating. Constructed with copper alloy contacts finished in gold or GXT™ plating, it ensures reliable conductivity. The housing is made of black thermoplastic material, rated for operation between -55°C and +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact configuration for high-density power distribution
• Integrated board lock mechanism to prevent accidental disengagement
• Gold or GXT™ plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Vertical mounting orientation compatible with standard PCB layouts

Applications

• High-power card edge interconnects
• Industrial control systems requiring robust power connections
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Server backplane power distribution modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and lead time directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if mandated by your project specifications. Ensure the procurement channel is an authorized source to guarantee authenticity and access to official technical documentation. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor catalogs to avoid substitution errors during acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-sided female interface is required for high-current applications. The 2.54 mm pitch and 60-position count define the spatial and electrical constraints. Verify that the PCB design accommodates the vertical through-hole footprint and board lock features. Consider the operating temperature range and contact plating options to ensure compatibility with the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the HPCE® series from Amphenol ICC (FCI), specialized for high-power card edge applications. The series is engineered for durability and reliable performance in demanding environments. The 10118251-002LF variant specifically addresses needs for dual-sided connectivity with secure locking mechanisms, distinguishing it from standard signal-only connectors within the broader product family.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacement requires matching the 60-position dual-sided female configuration, 2.54 mm pitch, and vertical through-hole mounting style. Consult the manufacturer for potential obsolescence notices or recommended alternatives if this specific part number becomes unavailable.
