10121048-005LF

Overview

The 10121048-005LF is a dual-sided card edge connector from the HPCE series, manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). It features 60 positions, comprising 20 signal and 36 power contacts. Designed for PCI Express applications, this female receptacle utilizes a surface-mount termination method with a right-angle orientation. The housing is black, and the connector supports standard card thicknesses typical for high-performance computing environments.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided contact configuration supporting both signal and power transmission
• Surface-mount termination for secure PCB attachment
• Right-angle design optimized for space-constrained layouts

Applications

• PCI Express peripheral modules
• High-performance computing server backplanes
• Industrial control system interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count configuration matches the target application requirements, as the part combines signal and power lines. Confirm that the surface-mount footprint aligns with the PCB design guidelines provided in the official datasheet. Ensure compatibility with the intended card edge thickness and material specifications to guarantee reliable mechanical and electrical performance during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, dual-sided connection is required for PCI Express standards. The HPCE series offers robust signal integrity for high-speed data transmission. Consider the right-angle form factor if vertical clearance is limited. Evaluate the thermal management capabilities of the board against the connector's operating temperature range to ensure long-term reliability under load.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the HPCE (High Performance Card Edge) family, which is engineered for demanding digital and analog applications. The series emphasizes superior signal integrity and mechanical durability. Amphenol ICC developed this line to support the increasing density and speed requirements of modern computing architectures, ensuring stable connections in critical infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references within the HPCE series. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 60-position layout and dual-sided contact arrangement. Ensure the replacement part supports the same PCI Express compliance standards and surface-mount termination type to preserve board compatibility.
