10121506-004812CLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10121506-004812CLF is a standard edgeboard connector belonging to the HPCE series. It features a dual-edge configuration with 60 positions, specifically arranged as 12 signal and 48 power contacts. The connector utilizes a female contact type with gold or GXT™ plating on copper alloy terminals. Designed for vertical mounting via press-fit termination, it supports non-specified dual-edge cards with a thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The housing is black thermoplastic, rated for an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge architecture accommodating both signal and high-current power circuits within a single vertical receptacle.
• Press-fit termination method ensures secure board attachment without requiring soldering processes.
• Gold or GXT™ contact plating provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance for repeated mating cycles.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Amphenol FCI datasheet to confirm pinout assignments and plating specifications. Ensure that the target PCB design accommodates the vertical profile and press-fit hole requirements. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if required by the end application. Cross-reference the package quantity and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, dual-edge connection is required for mixed signal and power applications. The 60-position count offers a balance between density and spacing. Consider the press-fit installation style for automated assembly efficiency. Verify that the card thickness matches the 0.062-inch specification to ensure proper mechanical retention and electrical contact.

Part Context

This connector is part of the HPCE (High Performance Card Edge) family from Amphenol ICC (FCI), formerly known as FCI. The HPCE series is engineered for demanding environments requiring robust signal integrity and power delivery. Amphenol acquired FCI in 2016, integrating these solutions into its ICC division to support growth in information technology and commercial electronics markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other HPCE series connectors with identical 60-position dual-edge configurations and press-fit termination. Verify compatibility with existing tooling and PCB footprints before substitution. Alternative part numbers within the same series may offer different plating options or card thickness tolerances.
