10137784-04222LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10137784-04222LF is a power connector header belonging to the Minitek Pwr 4.2 series. It features a right-angle through-hole mounting style with four positions and a 4.20mm pitch. The contacts are male pins with gold plating, housed in black nylon 6.6 insulation rated UL94 V-0. Rated for 12.5A at 600VAC, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• High-current power delivery capability via dedicated power-to-board design
• Right-angle orientation facilitates compact board layout integration
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Through-hole termination provides robust mechanical stability

Applications

• Industrial control system power distribution
• Server and storage backplane connections
• High-power consumer electronics assemblies
• Automotive electronic control units

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required contact plating and housing configuration. Confirm that the right-angle form factor aligns with the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure. Ensure the current rating requirements do not exceed the component's thermal limits under actual operating conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity is required in a space-constrained environment necessitating a right-angle connection. Compare against standard headers if lower current or vertical mounting suffices. Evaluate thermal management needs as high current generates heat; ensure PCB copper area supports the 12.5A rating without excessive temperature rise.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Minitek Pwr 4.2 family, designed for demanding power applications. It complements other variants in the series offering different pin counts and orientations. The 4.20mm pitch distinguishes it from signal connectors, providing wider spacing for higher voltage isolation and current handling.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Minitek Pwr 4.2 headers with identical 4-position right-angle configurations. Verify compatibility with mating sockets from the same series. Cross-reference with generic 4.20mm pitch headers only if mechanical and electrical ratings are strictly equivalent.
