10121505-002012ALF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10121505-002012ALF is a standard edgeboard connector from the HPCE series. It features a dual-edge female configuration with 32 total positions, specifically arranged as 12 signal and 20 power contacts. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm pitch and supports a maximum current rating of 9 A. Constructed with copper alloy contacts finished in gold or GXT plating, it ensures reliable conductivity. The housing is made of black thermoplastic material, designed for through-hole mounting with board lock features.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female design accommodating non-specified dual-edge cards
• Integrated board lock mechanism for secure mechanical retention
• Gold or GXT contact plating for enhanced signal integrity
• Thermoplastic insulation material rated for high-temperature operation

Applications

• High-performance computing server backplanes
• Data center interconnect systems
• Industrial control board connections
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating type and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and card thickness specifications. Confirm that the 9 A current rating aligns with the application's thermal requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Validate pinout assignments against the official datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust dual-edge interface is required for mixed signal and power distribution. The 2.54 mm pitch offers a balance between density and spacing. Consider the HPCE series reputation for durability in demanding environments. Evaluate the need for board locks to prevent accidental disconnection during vibration. Compare against single-edge alternatives if space constraints allow for different form factors.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HPCE (High Performance Card Edge) family, known for reliability in harsh environments. Amphenol ICC (FCI), formerly Framatome Connectors International, specializes in high-reliability interconnect solutions. The HPCE series is widely used in applications requiring stable performance under thermal and mechanical stress. This specific model represents a standard configuration within the broader portfolio of edgeboard connectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other HPCE series variants with matching position counts and pitch. Verify that any replacement maintains the same dual-edge female configuration and board lock feature. Ensure the alternative part supports the same 9 A current rating and operating temperature range. Cross-reference pinout diagrams to guarantee electrical compatibility without redesigning the PCB footprint.
