Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C2' against official Amphenol documentation to confirm material composition and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB panelization processes regarding the 0.062-inch card thickness requirement. Confirm that the press-fit termination aligns with the target motherboard hole dimensions and thermal profile capabilities during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided edge connector with integrated power distribution is required for rigid board applications. The press-fit technology offers superior vibration resistance compared to solder-only variants. Evaluate the 22-position layout against available routing space on the mating card to ensure adequate signal-to-power ratio for the intended circuit design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EHPCE (Enhanced High Performance Card Edge) family from Amphenol ICC. The series is engineered for demanding data center and enterprise applications where signal integrity and mechanical durability are critical. The base product line focuses on providing standardized interfaces for high-speed data transmission and stable power delivery in modular hardware systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with part number 10140903-0416B2LF for similar positioning but verify differences in contact count and termination style. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 0.062-inch card thickness tolerance and double-sided engagement geometry to preserve mechanical fit.
