10127820-0421GCLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10127820-0421GCLF is a Minitek Power 4.2 series power-to-board connector header. It features a dual-row vertical through-hole design with four positions and a 4.2 mm pitch. The contacts are constructed from brass and plated with gold to ensure reliable conductivity. This component is rated for a current of 9 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. It utilizes a natural-colored housing and offers an insulation resistance of 1 GOhms, suitable for compact power-dense applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual-row vertical through-hole header configuration
• Gold-plated brass contacts for high conductivity
• Natural-colored thermoplastic housing material

Applications

• Compact power-dense electronic systems
• Power distribution on printed circuit boards
• High-density interconnect solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'GCLF' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating socket components within the same Minitek Power 4.2 series. Confirm that the vertical through-hole mounting style aligns with the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-current connection is required in space-constrained environments. The 4.2 mm pitch allows for robust contact spacing compared to smaller pitches. Verify that the 9 A current rating meets the thermal and electrical demands of the application. Ensure the vertical orientation fits within the mechanical envelope constraints of the assembly.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Minitek Power 4.2 family, designed for flexible, high-density power connections. The series provides various position counts and row configurations to accommodate different board space limitations. It serves as a standardized solution for transferring significant power currents between cables and boards in industrial and consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 4-position, 4.2 mm pitch headers from the same Minitek Power 4.2 series, such as 10127820-0421LCLF or 10127820-0421LF, provided the plating and packaging differences are acceptable for the specific application requirements.
