10140903-2016B2LF

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10140903-2016B2LF is a vertical, press-fit card edge connector designed for double-sided PCBs. It features 36 positions, comprising 20 signal contacts and 16 power contacts. The housing is blue GXT thermoplastic, rated UL94 V-0. Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a minimum thickness of 30 microinches over nickel. It supports board thicknesses from 0.050 to 0.062 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical press-fit termination ensures secure mounting without soldering.
• Dual contact configuration separates high-current power paths from signal lines.
• Gold-plated contacts provide reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Blue GXT housing offers thermal stability and flame retardancy.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density data acquisition systems
• Embedded computing modules
• Industrial interface cards
• Telecommunications backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix B2LF against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and hole tolerances. Confirm that the vertical orientation aligns with the mechanical assembly constraints of the host enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when vertical mounting and high pin counts are required for mixed-signal applications. The separation of power and signal pins aids in managing current loads and reducing noise coupling. Verify that the press-fit process parameters match the manufacturing capabilities of the assembly line.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EHPCE series, which focuses on high-performance card edge solutions. The series supports various configurations for signal integrity and power delivery in demanding electronic environments. It complements other FCI connectors by offering robust mechanical retention through press-fit technology.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

The 10140903-0416B2LF is a related variant within the same family but differs in position count and power/signal distribution. Cross-referencing mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings is essential before substitution.
