10136647-042242LF

Overview

The 10136647-042242LF is a vertical power header from the Minitek Pwr 4.2 series by Amphenol ICC (FCI). It features a 4-position, single-row configuration with a 4.2mm pitch. The connector utilizes solder termination for surface mount installation and includes shrouding for alignment. Rated for 600V, it employs copper alloy contacts with gold plating and LCP insulation, supporting high-density power distribution in compact electronic assemblies.

Feature Summary

• High-density pin-and-socket design optimized for compact, power-dense applications
• Vertical orientation with shrouded housing for precise cable-to-board alignment
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable electrical performance
• Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material for thermal stability

Applications

• Compact power distribution modules
• High-density server backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment power interfaces
• Industrial control board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and insulation material variants. Ensure compatibility with mating cable harnesses regarding pitch and shroud dimensions. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference the full part number against manufacturer databases to identify any recent engineering changes or obsolescence notices prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust power delivery in space-constrained environments. The 4.2mm pitch allows for higher current capacity compared to smaller pitches while maintaining a low profile. Consider the vertical form factor for direct cable attachment without additional bending. Evaluate thermal management requirements as LCP offers superior heat resistance compared to standard thermoplastics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Minitek Pwr 4.2 family, designed for flexible, high-power interconnects. It complements other FCI solutions like the Minitek Pwr 3.0 but offers increased spacing for higher voltage isolation. The series supports various termination styles and row configurations to adapt to diverse board layout constraints in data communication and industrial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variations in position count such as 10136647-032242LF or 10136647-052242LF. For different pitch requirements, consider the Minitek Pwr 3.0 series (e.g., 10137926-0412LF). Verify mechanical footprint and electrical ratings before swapping to ensure system integrity.
