10129703-002LF

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10129703-002LF is a high-density power card edge connector designed for double-sided board applications. It features a press-fit termination method suitable for through-hole mounting, ensuring robust mechanical stability in demanding environments. The component utilizes a mixed pitch configuration with 2.54mm spacing for power contacts and 1.27mm spacing for signal lines. Constructed with a thermoplastic insulator and black GXT™ housing, it supports a total of 48 positions, comprising 36 power pins and 12 signal pins. The connector operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and accommodates a maximum card thickness of 0.157 inches (4.00mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Mixed pitch design separating high-current power distribution from dense signal routing.
• Press-fit termination ensures reliable connection without soldering thermal stress on the board.
• Double-sided compatibility allows for increased I/O density on constrained PCB layouts.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Commercial aerospace avionics systems requiring weight reduction and simplified installation.
• Aircraft airframe power distribution networks.
• High-density industrial control instrumentation modules.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify current manufacturing status and availability directly with Amphenol ICC or authorized distributors, as lead times may vary based on production schedules. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and housing color specifications. Ensure that the target printed circuit board stack-up aligns with the specified 0.157-inch maximum thickness constraint to guarantee proper mating engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when double-sided edge connectivity is required for mixed signal and power loads. The mixed pitch architecture distinguishes it from uniform-pitch connectors, making it ideal for applications needing distinct separation between power rails and data lines. Evaluate the press-fit requirement against available PCB via structures, as this termination method differs significantly from standard solder-based connections.
