10136647-041212LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10136647-041212LF is a Minitek® Pwr 4.2 Higher Current Connector (HCC). It is a board-to-board header with four positions and a 0.165-inch (4.20mm) pitch. The connector features a vertical surface-mount termination style, designed for high-current applications up to 13.5A per contact. It utilizes a two-row arrangement with square pin contacts that are tin-plated. The housing is constructed from liquid crystal polymer (LCP), which is halogen-free and rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Designed for power-dense applications requiring high current capacity
• Vertical surface-mount termination for efficient PCB integration
• Halogen-free LCP insulation material ensuring environmental compliance

Applications

• Power distribution modules in industrial equipment
• High-current connections in server backplanes
• Power delivery systems in telecommunications infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and packaging configuration when ordering, as variations may exist between tape-and-reel quantities or bulk packaging options. Confirm that the tin-plated contact finish aligns with your soldering process requirements. Ensure the vertical height specifications match your board stack-up design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4.20mm pitch is required for higher current handling compared to standard signal connectors. Consider the vertical orientation for direct board mounting without additional standoffs. Evaluate the thermal performance of the LCP material against your operational environment limits. Compare the 13.5A rating against your circuit's peak load requirements to ensure adequate safety margins.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Minitek® Pwr 4.2 series by Amphenol ICC (FCI), specifically engineered for high-current density needs. It complements the broader Minitek family by offering increased ampacity over smaller pitch alternatives. The product line supports various configurations for different board-to-board and cable-to-board interconnect scenarios within commercial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Minitek Pwr 4.2 headers with identical pin counts and pitch, such as 10136647-041212LF variants with different packaging suffixes. Cross-compatibility requires matching the 4.20mm spacing and vertical profile. Verify that alternative sources maintain the same UL94 V-0 rating and tin plating specifications.
