10127819-18322PLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10127819-18322PLF is a Minitek Power 4.2 series header designed for power-to-board applications. It features an 18-position configuration with a 4.2 mm pitch and double-row arrangement. The component utilizes brass contacts with gold plating and is rated for current varying by position, typically supporting high-power requirements. Designed for vertical mounting, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from black insulating material meeting UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, ensuring reliable performance in demanding electronic environments.

Feature Summary

• Double-row vertical header design for board-level power distribution
• Gold-plated brass contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Zero insertion force locking mechanism for secure mating
• Black housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust power connections
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Automotive electronics and power management modules
• Consumer appliance mainboard interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact current rating against the official datasheet, as values vary by position. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the ordering suffix matches the required plating thickness. Cross-reference the pin count and pitch with PCB footprint specifications to prevent mechanical mismatch during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-current capacity and space efficiency are prioritized over signal integrity. The 4.2 mm pitch allows for substantial conductor cross-sections compared to standard signal headers. Ensure the mating connector supports the double-row configuration and compatible locking mechanism for reliable engagement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Minitek Power 4.2 family, engineered for high-current power delivery in compact form factors. It complements other FCI solutions by offering a balance between electrical performance and mechanical durability. The series is widely used in sectors requiring stable power interfaces under thermal stress.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include 10127819-18312PLF for natural housing variants. Verify compatibility with mating sockets before substitution. Generic equivalents may lack the specific locking mechanism or current rating consistency.
