10121048-003LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10121048-003LF is a dual-sided female card edge connector belonging to the HPCE® series. It features 32 positions, configured as 16 signal and 16 power contacts. Designed for through-hole termination via press-fit technology, it accommodates a card thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The contacts are gold or GXT™ plated over copper alloy, housed in black thermoplastic insulation. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• High-power card edge design with dedicated power contact configuration
• Press-fit termination ensures secure board mounting without soldering
• Gold or GXT™ plating provides reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance

Applications

• High-density data processing systems
• Industrial control boards requiring robust power connections
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LF' indicates lead-free compliance when sourcing. Confirm that the press-fit variant matches the target PCB pad layout, as mechanical retention differs from soldered versions. Ensure the 0.062-inch card thickness specification aligns with the mating edge card dimensions to prevent insertion force issues or poor contact engagement during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity is required alongside signal integrity in a dual-edge interface. The HPCE® series is suitable for applications demanding durable mechanical locking and thermal stability. Consider the press-fit installation method if reworkability or automated assembly constraints preclude traditional soldering processes for heavy-duty connectors.
