10127720-162LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10127720-162LF is a Minitek Pwr 3.0 series power header connector designed for board-to-cable or wire applications. It features a right-angle through-hole mounting style with 16 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 0.118 inch (3.00 mm) pitch and includes a board lock mechanism for secure attachment. Contact surfaces are tin-plated copper alloy, ensuring reliable conductivity. The housing is constructed from black liquid crystal polymer (LCP), rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and supports a voltage rating of 600V AC/DC.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle through-hole design for efficient PCB space utilization
• Integrated board lock mechanism ensures secure mechanical retention
• Tin-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and reliable electrical connection
• High-temperature LCP insulation supports demanding thermal environments

Applications

• Power distribution in industrial control systems
• Server and storage equipment internal power connections
• Communication infrastructure power headers
• General-purpose board-to-wire power interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating thickness and packaging format. Confirm that the pin count and row configuration align with the target PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with mating cables or wires regarding current capacity and insulation type. Check for any recent product change notices affecting material specifications or manufacturing locations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current power header with integrated board locking is required. The 3.00mm pitch offers a balance between current carrying capacity and density. Consider the right-angle form factor for constrained vertical spaces. Validate that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the end application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Minitek Pwr 3.0 family, a line of power connectors from Amphenol ICC (FCI). The series is characterized by its 3.00mm pitch and focus on high-reliability power transmission. Components in this family typically feature LCP insulation and various mounting options to support diverse electronic assembly needs across multiple industries.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 10127720-161GLF, which shares the same physical dimensions and series characteristics but may differ in packaging or specific plating details. Always verify cross-reference data against official manufacturer documentation before implementation.
