10118615-520002LF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10118615-520002LF is a vertical, unshrouded header connector belonging to the Minitek® Multipitch™ series. It features a 2x1 contact arrangement with a 2.54mm pitch. The component utilizes a through-hole termination method and is designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material, typically in natural or black color options, ensuring UL94 V-0 flammability rating. This connector supports a maximum current rating of 3A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. It is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm housing color and terminal plating specifications, as these variants may differ functionally. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as some older revisions may not meet current environmental standards. Check for end-of-life notifications or obsolescence alerts prior to finalizing procurement plans. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets regarding shroud design and pin alignment. Validate that the selected variant meets the required thermal and electrical ratings for the target application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this connector when a low-profile, vertical header is required for high-current signal transmission. The 2.54mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard wire harnesses and mating connectors. Consider the unshrouded nature if space constraints prevent the use of shrouded alternatives. Evaluate the through-hole mounting requirement against surface-mount availability. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the final assembly. Verify that the 3A current rating suffices for the intended load without excessive heating.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component is part of the Minitek® Multipitch™ family, which offers versatile interconnect solutions for various electronic applications. The series is known for its compact form factor and reliable performance in demanding environments. Amphenol ICC (FCI) designs these connectors to meet stringent industry standards for durability and electrical safety. The product line supports both signal and power transmission needs across multiple sectors.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 2x1, 2.54mm pitch vertical headers from manufacturers such as Molex, JST, or TE Connectivity. Ensure replacement parts match the pin count, pitch, and current rating. Verify that the mounting style and housing dimensions are compatible with the existing PCB footprint. Check for equivalent flammability ratings and temperature capabilities.
