10120871-004LF

Overview

The 10120871-004LF is a dual-edge card edge connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). It features a female gender configuration with 60 positions designed for board-to-board or backplane applications. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and finished with gold or GXT™ plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. This component utilizes a press-fit termination method, allowing it to be mounted directly onto the PCB without soldering. It belongs to the standard card edge connector category within the manufacturer's portfolio.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure mating with double-sided PCB fingers
• Press-fit termination technology enables robust mechanical anchoring and electrical connection
• Gold or GXT™ plated copper alloy contacts provide high conductivity and corrosion resistance

Applications

• High-density backplane interconnects in telecommunications infrastructure
• Server and storage system motherboard connections
• Industrial control panel circuit board integration

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target printed circuit board supports press-fit mounting holes rather than through-hole solder pads. Confirm the specific contact finish requirement, as the part may be supplied with either standard gold or GXT™ plating depending on the specific ordering suffix. Ensure the PCB thickness matches the connector's design specifications for proper retention force.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-soldered assembly process is required for high-reliability connections. The 60-position count suits moderate-width interface requirements. Consider the dual-edge geometry if the mating card has conductive traces on both sides. Evaluate the press-fit insertion force against the PCB substrate capabilities to prevent damage during assembly.

Part Context

This component is part of Amphenol FCI's extensive catalog of interconnect solutions, acquired by Amphenol Corporation. It falls under the card edge connector subcategory, specifically designed for rigid board interfaces. The product line emphasizes durability and signal integrity for commercial and industrial electronic markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct cross-replacement requires matching the 60-position count, dual-edge female type, and press-fit termination. Verify identical pitch dimensions and overall height constraints before substituting with other manufacturers' equivalents.
