10118849-003LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10118849-003LF is a dual-sided female edgeboard connector belonging to the HPCE series. It features 60 positions with contacts arranged for power and signal transmission. 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, ensuring reliable conductivity. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic insulation material.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female configuration designed for high-density board-to-board interconnects
• Press-fit termination ensures secure mechanical attachment without soldering
• Gold or Gold GXT™ contact finish provides corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance
• Thermoplastic insulation housing offers structural integrity and thermal stability

Applications

• High-performance computing server backplanes
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control system motherboards
• Network switching hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact finish variant (standard gold versus Gold GXT™) against the manufacturer's current datasheet, as both are listed in public records. Confirm that the press-fit pin length matches the target PCB thickness requirements. Ensure the ordering suffix corresponds exactly to the required packaging and lead time specifications provided by authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, non-soldered connection is required for heavy-duty applications. The HPCE series is engineered for environments demanding high reliability and repeated mating cycles. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C when evaluating environmental constraints. Verify that the 60-position count aligns with the necessary signal and power routing density for the design.

Part Context

This connector is part of the HPCE (High Performance Card Edge) family, which focuses on high-speed data and power delivery. Amphenol ICC (FCI) designs these components to meet stringent industry standards for signal integrity. The product line supports modern electronic architectures requiring compact form factors with enhanced durability compared to standard card edge connectors.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires consulting official Amphenol ICC compatibility matrices or engineering change notices to ensure equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.
