10131318-1822100LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10131318-1822100LF is a Minitek Pwr 4.2 High Current header connector designed for power-to-board applications. It features an 18-position configuration with a 4.2 mm pitch and a double row arrangement. The component utilizes right-angle through-hole solder termination for secure board mounting. Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 12.5 A and a voltage rating of 600 VAC. The contacts are made of copper with tin plating, housed in a black nylon 6.6 insulator. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 1 GOhms.

Feature Summary

• High-current power delivery capability suitable for demanding electronic systems
• Right-angle design facilitates compact board layout and space optimization
• Robust tin-plated copper contacts ensure reliable electrical conductivity
• Nylon 6.6 housing provides durable insulation and thermal stability

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high current distribution
• Power supply modules and server infrastructure
• Automotive electronics and electric vehicle charging components
• Telecommunications equipment and base station hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LF' indicates lead-free compliance when sourcing. Confirm that the 18-position count matches the target circuit requirements. Ensure the right-angle orientation aligns with the mechanical assembly constraints. Check for any obsolescence notices from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4.2 mm pitch is required for high-current applications. The 18-position count dictates the specific pinout needs. Consider the right-angle form factor for vertical clearance limitations. Evaluate the 12.5 A rating against peak load currents to ensure adequate safety margins.

Part Context

This header belongs to the Minitek Pwr 4.2 series, which specializes in high-current interconnect solutions. The series is characterized by its 4.2 mm pitch, supporting significant power transmission in compact spaces. It serves as a critical interface between power sources and printed circuit boards in heavy-duty environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 18-position, 4.2 mm pitch headers from the same Minitek family. Verify compatibility with mating pins regarding contact geometry and plating thickness. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same right-angle and through-hole specifications.
