10127721-165LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10127721-165LF is a Minitek Pwr 3.0 series power-to-board header connector designed for high-current applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 16 positions and a 3 mm pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper contacts to ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Rated for 8.5 A current and 600 VAC voltage, it supports through-hole solder termination. The housing is constructed from black Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), offering UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-row vertical header design optimized for board-to-board power distribution
• Gold-plated copper contacts provide durable electrical connection and oxidation resistance
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation ensures high thermal stability and low moisture absorption
• Integrated board guide feature facilitates precise alignment during assembly

Applications

• Server and storage system power distribution modules
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control systems requiring robust power connections
• Data center networking hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the Minitek Pwr 3.0 family. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style aligns with your PCB fabrication capabilities. Request updated lifecycle status documentation to verify availability for long-term production needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity and strict thermal performance are required in compact power architectures. The 3 mm pitch allows for higher density compared to standard 2.54 mm connectors while maintaining robust mechanical strength. Verify that the 8.5 A rating meets the circuit requirements under expected ambient temperature conditions. Consider the LCP material properties for environments with high humidity or thermal cycling.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Minitek Pwr 3.0 family, a specialized line of power connectors developed by Amphenol FCI. The series is engineered for demanding applications in servers, storage, and telecommunications where reliability and high current handling are critical. The 10127721 prefix identifies the specific header variant within this broader ecosystem of compatible housings and terminals.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 16-position count, 3 mm pitch, and dual-row configuration. Compatible alternatives include other Minitek Pwr 3.0 headers with identical pin counts. Verify that any substitute maintains the same current rating, voltage rating, and through-hole termination method to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
