10120821-007LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10120821-007LF is a dual-sided female card edge connector belonging to the HPCE series. It features 60 positions with a board lock mechanism for secure installation. The connector utilizes gold or GXT™ surface treatment on contacts and has a black thermoplastic housing. Designed for through-hole mounting, it supports a card thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The operating temperature range extends from -55°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact configuration for high-density signal routing
• Integrated board lock feature ensures secure mechanical retention
• Gold or GXT™ contact plating provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance

Applications

• High-performance computing backplanes
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control system modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required card thickness and termination style. Confirm that the component status remains active, as electronic components are subject to production lifecycle changes. Cross-reference the package type and reel specifications if automated assembly processes are utilized. Ensure all environmental compliance markings align with project requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-sided female interface with a board lock is required for rigid PCBs up to 1.57mm thick. The HPCE series offers robust performance for demanding environments. Evaluate the thermal rating and contact material suitability against the application's electrical load and environmental conditions. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the target board design constraints.

Part Context

This component is part of the HPCE series by Amphenol ICC (FCI), specializing in high-reliability interconnect solutions. The brand, now integrated into Amphenol ICC following the acquisition of FCI, focuses on advanced connectivity for information and communication markets.
