10121505-080408ALF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10121505-080408ALF is a standard edgeboard connector designed for high-performance computing applications. It features a dual-edge female configuration with 20 positions, comprising 8 signal and 12 power contacts. The connector utilizes gold contact finish and black housing material. It supports board thicknesses of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The component is rated for operation within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. It employs a press-fit termination method for secure mounting onto the PCB.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodating both signal and power lines simultaneously
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Press-fit termination provides robust mechanical stability without soldering

Applications

• CMOS image sensors for mobile applications
• Medical instrumentation and medical imaging systems
• Music recording equipment interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ALF confirms RoHS compliance and lead-free status as per manufacturer specifications. Confirm that the dual-edge configuration matches the target card slot requirements. Ensure the press-fit termination type aligns with the PCB manufacturing capabilities. Validate the 20-position layout against the system's pinout definitions before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface is required for mixed signal and power transmission in compact form factors. The HPCE series offers high density suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the press-fit installation method if reworkability or automated assembly efficiency is prioritized over traditional soldering techniques for this specific application profile.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HPCE (High Performance Card Edge) series by Amphenol ICC (FCI), formerly FCI. The series is engineered for demanding environments requiring high reliability and signal integrity. Amphenol acquired FCI in 2016, integrating these connectors into their broader portfolio of interconnect solutions for commercial and industrial electronics markets.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Amphenol ICC cross-reference tools for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may not match the precise dual-edge geometry or press-fit retention forces required for this specific model.
