10130788-160010ALF

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10130788-160010ALF is a dual-edge card edge connector designed for high-reliability applications. It features a 26-position configuration with female contacts, providing robust signal and power transmission capabilities. The connector utilizes gold or GXT™ contact plating to ensure low contact resistance and superior corrosion resistance over repeated mating cycles. Constructed with a thermoplastic insulator, it supports standard PCB thicknesses of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). This component belongs to the HPCE series, engineered for vertical mounting on printed circuit boards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge card edge interface design for secure board-to-board connectivity
• Gold or GXT™ contact plating for enhanced conductivity and durability
• Thermoplastic insulator housing for structural stability and environmental resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-performance computing systems requiring reliable data transmission
• Industrial control modules needing durable interconnect solutions
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating option (gold vs. GXT) required for your application environment, as this affects long-term reliability in corrosive conditions. Confirm that the target PCB thickness matches the 0.062-inch specification to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check for RoHS compliance status if operating in regulated markets. Ensure storage conditions maintain humidity levels to prevent oxidation before assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge interface is necessary for increased pin density within a constrained footprint. The HPCE series offers higher performance than standard card edge connectors, making it suitable for high-speed signals. Consider the thermal rating and mechanical locking features if the application involves vibration or frequent insertion cycles. Evaluate the cost-benefit of gold versus GXT plating based on the operational lifespan requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component is part of the HPCE (High Performance Card Edge) family from Amphenol ICC (FCI), formerly FCI. The HPCE line is recognized for its advanced signal integrity and power handling capabilities. The 10130788 series specifically targets applications demanding high reliability and dense I/O configurations. Amphenol acquired FCI to expand its portfolio in high-speed interconnects, integrating FCI's specialized card edge technologies into their broader ICC division offerings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 26-position count, dual-edge orientation, and 0.062-inch board thickness. Verify compatibility with existing tooling and PCB footprints. Alternative parts from other manufacturers may require re-verification of contact force specifications and material flammability ratings.
