10121002-009LF

Overview

The 10121002-009LF is a dual-edge female card edge connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). It features 36 positions arranged in two rows of eighteen, designed for non-specified double-sided card applications. The component utilizes a copper alloy contact material with gold or GXT™ plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. It supports a board thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic and is colored black.

Feature Summary

• Incorporates a board lock mechanism to secure the connector firmly to the printed circuit board during operation.
• Features through-hole termination for robust mechanical attachment and electrical connection to the substrate.
• Designed with a right-angle mounting style to facilitate specific spatial configurations in electronic assemblies.

Applications

• High-performance computing systems requiring stable card-to-board interconnects
• Industrial control modules utilizing double-sided edge cards
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application requires a right-angle mounting configuration, as this variant differs from standard straight headers. Confirm compatibility with the specific double-sided card thickness of 0.062 inches. Ensure the design accommodates the board lock feature for proper retention. Cross-reference the pin count of 36 positions against the schematic requirements before finalizing the procurement order.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle orientation is necessary for the edge card interface. The HPCE® series offers high-density connectivity suitable for demanding environments. Consider the thermal operating range of -55°C to 105°C for suitability in harsh conditions. The gold or GXT™ finish provides corrosion resistance essential for long-term reliability in critical data paths.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HPCE® series of card edge connectors from Amphenol ICC (FCI). The series is engineered for high-performance computing and storage applications. It represents a specialized solution for double-sided edge cards, differing from standard single-sided or header-based interconnects. The manufacturer integrates advanced locking mechanisms to enhance mechanical stability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series may include variations in pin count or orientation. Verify mechanical dimensions and locking features when considering alternative part numbers. Consult official documentation for cross-referencing compatible components with identical form factors and electrical ratings.
