10120821-004LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10120821-004LF is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features a dual female configuration with 60 positions, utilizing cantilever contact types for reliable signal transmission. The component supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C and employs gold or GXT™ plated copper alloy contacts. Constructed with a black thermoplastic housing, this receptacle ensures robust performance in demanding electronic applications requiring high-density interconnects.

Feature Summary

• Dual female card edge design with 60 positions for high-density connectivity
• Cantilever contact type ensures secure mating and reliable signal integrity
• Vertical through-hole installation facilitates standardized PCB integration
• Gold or GXT™ plating on copper alloy contacts provides corrosion resistance

Applications

• High-density electronic circuit board interconnections
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing
• Computing hardware motherboard interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact finish requirement, as the datasheet indicates availability in either Gold or GXT™ plating variants. Confirm that the vertical through-hole termination aligns with your PCB assembly process capabilities. Ensure the dual female configuration matches the mating card edge specifications of your target application to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical continuity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count vertical interface is required for robust signal transmission. The dual female design accommodates specific mating constraints where male headers are unsuitable. Evaluate the thermal rating against your operational environment, noting the -55°C to +105°C range. Consider the cantilever contact mechanism for its durability during repeated insertion cycles compared to other contact styles.

Part Context

This part belongs to the standard card edge connector family manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). It serves as a receptacle for connecting peripheral cards or modules to main system boards. The 60-position layout distinguishes it from lower-density alternatives, offering expanded I/O capabilities within a compact vertical footprint suitable for space-constrained electronic enclosures.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference pin counts and pitch dimensions with existing designs. Verify compatibility with mating card edge thicknesses and overall height restrictions. Ensure the replacement maintains the same vertical orientation and through-hole soldering requirements to preserve mechanical stability and electrical performance.
