10129378-909003BLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10129378-909003BLF is a vertical board-to-board header connector belonging to the Minitek product series. It features a 2.54mm pitch and is configured with 9 positions arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes male pin contacts designed for through-hole solder termination, ensuring reliable electrical connections on printed circuit boards. The housing material is black, providing visual contrast and standard industrial aesthetics. This component is engineered for general-purpose signal transmission applications where standard spacing and vertical mounting are required.

Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation design facilitates direct PCB mounting without additional standoffs
• Male pin contact configuration ensures secure mating with corresponding socket headers
• Through-hole solder termination provides robust mechanical fixation to the substrate

Applications

• General-purpose electronic assemblies requiring standard 2.54mm interconnects
• Industrial instrumentation and control panels
• Consumer electronics internal board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix BLF corresponds to the black housing variant and lead-free compliance status as defined by the manufacturer's current documentation. Confirm that the 9-position count matches the design requirements before procurement. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets of identical pitch and row configuration. Cross-reference the latest datasheet revision to confirm material specifications and RoHS status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, single-row header with 2.54mm spacing is necessary for low-speed signal routing. The 9-position count suits moderate density applications. Consider the through-hole termination method for standard manufacturing processes. Evaluate if the black housing color meets aesthetic or identification standards. Ensure the mating partner supports the required current rating for the specific application environment.

Part Context

This connector is part of the Minitek family produced by Amphenol ICC (FCI), formerly FCI. The Minitek series offers various pitch options and configurations for board-to-board and wire-to-board applications. Amphenol ICC specializes in high-reliability interconnect solutions for data communication, telecommunications, and industrial markets. The 10129378 series represents standard pitch connectors widely used in general electronic equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54mm pitch, 9-position count, single-row layout, and vertical through-hole termination. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer compatible male pin contacts and similar housing dimensions. Ensure the replacement maintains equivalent electrical ratings and mechanical durability for the intended application.
