10121506-000816DLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10121506-000816DLF is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the HPCE series. It features 24 positions, configured as 16 signal and 8 power contacts. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm pitch for signal lines and a 1.27 mm pitch for power lines. It employs a press-fit termination method for vertical mounting on printed circuit boards. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic material, and the contacts are plated with tin-lead alloy.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration supports simultaneous connection to both sides of a double-sided card edge board.
• Integrated power and signal separation allows distinct pitch spacing for optimized routing and current handling.
• Press-fit termination ensures secure mechanical anchoring and reliable electrical contact without soldering the connector body.

Applications

• High-density backplane interconnects in telecommunications infrastructure
• Server and storage system motherboard connections
• Industrial control systems requiring robust dual-sided card insertion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific RoHS compliance status and lead-free designation against the latest manufacturer datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the tin-lead contact plating meets the environmental regulations applicable to your target market. Ensure compatibility with the intended card edge thickness and verify that the press-fit footprint matches the design guidelines provided by Amphenol ICC.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface is required for high-reliability applications. The mixed pitch design accommodates both dense signal routing and higher current power delivery within a single connector profile. Consider the press-fit installation style if through-hole soldering of the connector itself is not desired or feasible for the assembly process.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the HPCE (High Performance Card Edge) family, designed for demanding electronic environments. The HPCE series emphasizes signal integrity and mechanical durability for high-speed data transmission. Amphenol ICC (FCI) integrates this line into its broader portfolio of interconnect solutions for commercial and industrial electronics markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other HPCE series connectors with identical pin counts and pitch configurations. Verify mechanical dimensions and press-fit specifications carefully when considering alternative part numbers from the same manufacturer or different vendors.
