10127820-0422GPLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10127820-0422GPLF is a Minitek Power4.2 series power-to-board connector header. It features a vertical through-hole mounting style with four positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. The connector utilizes a 4.20 mm (0.165 inch) pitch and employs brass contacts with tin plating. Designed for robust power distribution, it supports a current rating of 9 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from natural-colored polyamide (PA66), ensuring UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole design for secure board integration
• High current capacity suitable for power distribution applications
• Tin-plated brass contacts for reliable conductivity
• Flame-retardant polyamide insulation housing

Applications

• Power supply modules
• Server and storage equipment internal connections
• Industrial control systems
• Communication infrastructure hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating and pin count against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the vertical orientation and through-hole termination method align with the target PCB layout. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental specifications of the final assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm material composition and regulatory compliance status prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-current vertical interconnect is required for power delivery. The 4.20 mm pitch accommodates heavier gauge wires compared to signal connectors. Consider the tin plating for cost-effective solutions where gold is not strictly necessary. Evaluate the thermal management needs, as the 9 A rating dictates appropriate trace width and spacing on the mating circuit board.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Minitek Pwr 4.2 family, engineered for demanding power-to-board applications. The series is characterized by its ability to handle significant current loads while maintaining a compact form factor. It is widely utilized in data center and industrial environments where reliability under thermal stress is critical. The product line emphasizes ease of assembly and consistent electrical performance across varying operational conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Minitek Pwr 4.2 series include variants with different pin counts or plating options, such as 10127820-2224GLF for higher position counts with gold plating. Always verify mechanical footprint compatibility and electrical ratings when considering alternative part numbers from the same manufacturer or competitor lines.
