10142396-203KLF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) part number 10142396-203KLF is a MicroSpace header assembly designed for surface mount applications. It features a single row of three positions with male pins, oriented at a straight angle relative to the board. The connector utilizes solder termination for secure PCB attachment and includes specific mechanical design elements such as board guide slots and solder retention features to ensure alignment and stability during assembly. This component belongs to the MicroSpace series, which is engineered for high-density interconnect solutions in compact electronic devices.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction with straight orientation for low-profile integration
• Integrated board guide slots to facilitate precise alignment during assembly
• Solder retention design ensures mechanical stability and prevents component displacement

Applications

• High-density consumer electronics assemblies
• Compact portable device interconnections
• Board-to-board signal routing in space-constrained environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix and revision level when sourcing replacements, as minor manufacturing updates may occur without changing the base part number. Confirm that the receiving facility accepts surface mount components with solder retention features. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment capable of handling the specific package dimensions and guide slot requirements defined in the official datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface mount header with three positions is required. The inclusion of board guides makes it suitable for applications demanding high assembly precision. Consider the straight orientation if vertical clearance is limited but horizontal board space allows for direct pin exposure. Evaluate the solder retention feature against standard surface mount practices to determine if enhanced mechanical security is necessary for the specific vibration or thermal cycling environment.

Part Context

This connector is part of the Amphenol ICC (FCI) MicroSpace family, a line of high-performance interconnects designed for modern electronic systems. The MicroSpace series emphasizes miniaturization and reliability, offering various configurations including headers, receptacles, and cable assemblies. Components in this series are typically utilized in applications where space efficiency and signal integrity are critical, supporting the trend toward smaller and more powerful electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3-position, single-row, surface mount, straight header configuration with board guide and solder retention features. Verify that any alternative part maintains the same pin pitch and housing material properties. Cross-reference the specific suffix codes to ensure identical mechanical and electrical specifications before implementation.
