10121510-001612ALF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10121510-001612ALF is a dual-edge card edge connector designed for high-performance applications. It features 38 positions with a mixed contact arrangement of 12 power and 16 signal contacts on each side, totaling 38 pins. The connector utilizes a vertical mounting style with a 2.54 mm pitch for signal lines and a 1.27 mm pitch for power lines. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring GXT™ gold plating, it ensures reliable conductivity. The housing is made of thermoplastic material rated UL94 V-0. It supports a maximum operating temperature of +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 500 MOhms to 5 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodating both power and signal transmission simultaneously
• Mixed pitch configuration providing 2.54 mm spacing for signals and 1.27 mm spacing for power contacts
• GXT™ gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring durability and low contact resistance
• Vertical mounting orientation with integrated mounting pegs for secure board installation

Applications

• High-performance computing systems requiring robust power and data interconnects
• Industrial control boards needing reliable vertical card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing mixed signal and power routing
• Consumer electronics devices with compact vertical expansion slot requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct contact arrangement and plating thickness match the design requirements. Confirm that the thermal rating of +105°C aligns with the operational environment of the target application. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the manufacturing process. Ensure the mounting peg configuration matches the PCB layout to prevent mechanical stress during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided vertical interface is required for mixed signal and power distribution. The distinct pitch separation allows for optimized trace routing on the host board. Consider the thermoplastic housing material for its flame retardant properties in dense assemblies. Evaluate the contact length and mating force specifications against the mating card edge thickness to ensure proper engagement without excessive wear.
