10122238-320416ALF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10122238-320416ALF is a dual-sided card edge connector designed for surface-mount or through-hole integration. It features 52 positions, configured as 16 signal pins and 36 power pins, accommodating non-specified double-sided PCBs with a thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The connector utilizes gold or GXT™ black contact plating on phosphor bronze terminals to ensure reliable conductivity. Rated for operation between -55°C and +105°C, it supports a maximum voltage of 50V and current of 0.5A per contact. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic material compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided configuration supporting both signal and power distribution within a single compact footprint
• Gold or GXT™ black terminal plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance
• Integrated board lock mechanism ensures secure mechanical retention during mating cycles
• Zero insertion force design facilitates easy PCB insertion and reduces mechanical stress

Applications

• High-density data processing equipment requiring robust power and signal separation
• Telecommunications infrastructure modules demanding high reliability in varying temperatures
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard 0.062-inch thick circuit boards
• Consumer electronics assemblies needing compact dual-edge connectivity solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating option (gold vs. GXT™ black) required for your application environment, as this affects corrosion resistance and cost. Confirm that the receiving PCB matches the 0.062-inch thickness specification to ensure proper engagement. Check for RoHS compliance status if operating in regulated regions. Ensure storage conditions prevent moisture absorption before reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface is necessary for space-constrained designs. The 52-position count offers a balance between signal density and power capacity. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C for harsh environments. Evaluate the need for board locks if vibration resistance is critical. Compare against single-sided alternatives if only signal transmission is required to optimize cost.
