10121506-004020ALF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10121506-004020ALF is a high-performance card edge connector from the HPCE series. It features a dual-edge female configuration with 60 positions, comprising 20 signal and 40 power contacts. The connector utilizes gold or GXT™ contact plating for reliable conductivity. Designed for through-hole mounting, it accommodates non-specified dual-edge cards with a thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic material, ensuring durability in demanding electronic applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female design supports both signal and power transmission simultaneously
• Gold or GXT™ contact plating ensures stable electrical performance
• Thermoplastic housing provides structural integrity and insulation
• Through-hole mounting style offers secure board attachment

Applications

• High-density backplane interconnects
• Industrial control systems requiring robust power distribution
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Computing hardware with mixed signal and power requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating variant (gold vs. GXT) required for your application, as availability may vary by suffix. Confirm that the receiving card thickness matches the 0.062-inch specification to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Ensure the dual-edge card type is compatible with the connector's locking mechanism.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity is needed alongside signal integrity in a compact form factor. The 40-power/20-signal ratio makes it suitable for applications where power delivery is critical. Consider the operating temperature range and thermal management requirements of the system. Evaluate the need for board locks or additional retention features if vibration resistance is a concern.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HPCE (High Performance Card Edge) series, designed for demanding environments. Amphenol ICC combines FCI's connector expertise with IT communications solutions. The series focuses on signal integrity and power management for information and communication markets. This specific model represents a standard dual-edge solution within that portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same HPCE series with identical pin counts and spacing. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating card specifications. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same voltage and current ratings. Consult official cross-reference lists for approved alternative part numbers.
