10127820-1422LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10127820-1422LF is a Minitek Power 4.2 series vertical header connector designed for power-to-board applications. It features a double-row configuration with 14 positions and a 4.2 mm pitch. The contacts are constructed from brass and finished with a tin plating to ensure reliable conductivity. Rated for 9 A current, this component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and maintains an insulation resistance of 1 GOhm. The housing is natural in color, and the unit utilizes a surface-mount vertical installation method suitable for high-current distribution systems.

Feature Summary

• Vertical mounting design optimized for board-level power distribution
• Double-row contact arrangement providing high current capacity
• Tin-plated brass contacts for corrosion resistance and conductivity

Applications

• Server and storage equipment power buses
• Industrial control system power interfaces
• Data communication equipment power delivery

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LF' confirms lead-free compliance and tin plating as distinct from gold-plated variants. Confirm the 14-position count matches the target circuit requirements. Ensure the vertical header orientation aligns with the PCB layout constraints. Validate that the 4.2 mm pitch is compatible with the mating card edge or cable assembly specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical power header with a 4.2 mm pitch is required for high-current applications. The 14-position double-row format supports significant amperage loads up to 9 A. Consider the tin plating for cost-effective solutions where extreme corrosion resistance is not the primary driver compared to gold options. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental demands of the final assembly.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Minitek Power 4.2 family, engineered for robust power transmission in compact electronic assemblies. The series is characterized by its ability to handle substantial currents while maintaining low profile dimensions. Designed by Amphenol ICC (FCI), these headers integrate seamlessly into power distribution networks for demanding industrial and commercial hardware environments.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Minitek Power 4.2 headers such as 10127820-1822PTLF for different position counts. Verify compatibility with mating cards using the same 4.2 mm pitch standard. Ensure replacement units maintain the same vertical orientation and double-row configuration to preserve mechanical and electrical interface integrity.
