10121505-001230BLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10121505-001230BLF is a dual-edge female edgeboard connector designed for high-density applications. It features 42 positions, configured as 30 signal and 12 power contacts. The connector utilizes a thermoplastic insulation material and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Contact plating is specified as gold or GXT™ finish, ensuring reliable conductivity. The unit employs a through-hole mounting style with board lock features for secure installation.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration supporting both signal and power transmission in a single housing
• GXT™ or gold contact plating for enhanced corrosion resistance and signal integrity
• Integrated board lock mechanism ensures stable mechanical retention during operation

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BLF' against official Amphenol documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and exact plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating card thickness standards before procurement. Cross-reference the base series 10121505 datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances and mating force requirements to prevent assembly issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface is required for combined signal and power routing in vertical mounting scenarios. The 42-position count suits applications needing moderate density without excessive footprint. Consider the -55°C to 105°C operating range for environments requiring broad thermal stability. Verify that the GXT™ plating meets the specific wear cycle requirements of the intended application.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the HPCE® series by Amphenol ICC (FCI), formerly FCI. The series is known for robust performance in demanding electronic markets. Amphenol acquired FCI in 2016, integrating its extensive portfolio into the Amphenol ICC division. This part represents the company's focus on high-reliability interconnect solutions for data processing and communication sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Amphenol ICC cross-reference guide for direct substitutes. Generic equivalents may not match the GXT™ plating characteristics or board lock geometry. Verify pinout consistency and mechanical envelope dimensions before considering alternative part numbers from other manufacturers.
