10121506-080028ALF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10121506-080028ALF is a standard card edge connector from the Power Edge series, designed for vertical board-to-board applications. It features a dual female contact configuration with a total of 36 positions, arranged as 28 signal and 8 power contacts. The connector utilizes a 1.27 mm pitch for signal lines and a 2.54 mm pitch for power lines. Constructed with a polyamide (PA) thermoplastic housing and copper alloy contacts, it offers gold or GXT™ plating to ensure reliable conductivity. Rated for 9 A current and operating up to +105°C, this through-mount header includes mounting pegs for secure installation.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodating both signal and power requirements within a single unit
• Mixed pitch architecture providing 1.27 mm spacing for signals and 2.54 mm spacing for high-current power traces
• Robust polyamide insulation housing with integrated mounting pegs for stable vertical board attachment
• High-conductivity copper alloy contacts finished with gold or GXT™ plating for durable electrical performance

Applications

• High-density server backplanes requiring mixed signal and power routing
• Industrial control systems utilizing vertical card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing reliable high-current connections
• Automotive electronic modules with strict thermal and mechanical stability requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating type and housing color variations. Ensure compatibility with the mating card edge thickness and tolerance specifications defined in the official datasheet. Confirm that the mixed pitch arrangement aligns with the target PCB layout constraints. Check for any recent product change notices regarding material composition or manufacturing location updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical interconnect solution is required for applications demanding distinct signal and power pitch separations. The 36-position capacity supports moderate density designs without excessive footprint usage. Consider the +105°C maximum operating temperature limit for thermal management planning. Verify that the through-hole mounting style with pegs fits the assembly process capabilities of the production line.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol Power Edge series, which specializes in robust connectors for demanding environments. The 10121506 base number indicates a standard card edge header format. The suffix -080028ALF specifies the 36-position count, mixed pitch configuration, and lead-free termination. It serves as a critical interface component in systems where space efficiency and electrical reliability are paramount.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 36-position count, dual-edge female type, and mixed 1.27/2.54 mm pitch geometry. Verify housing material compatibility and mounting peg placement for mechanical interchangeability. Ensure the replacement maintains the 9 A current rating and +105°C thermal capability.
