10146173-118KLF

Overview

The 10146173-118KLF is a Minitek MicroSpace 1.80mm crimp-to-wire connector header manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). It features a vertical, surface mount design with an 18-position configuration. The component utilizes a 0.071-inch (1.80mm) pitch and is constructed for wire-to-board applications. It employs a solder termination method suitable for automated assembly processes.

Feature Summary

• Vertical surface mount header configuration
• Crimp-to-wire contact termination system
• 1.80mm pitch spacing for compact layouts

Applications

• Wire-to-board interconnections
• Surface mount electronic assemblies
• Compact device internal wiring

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KLF against official Amphenol documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and material specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required pin count and orientation for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with current datasheets to validate availability and ordering constraints before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density vertical header is required for surface mount technology. The 1.80mm pitch offers a balance between signal density and mechanical stability. Confirm that the mating wire gauge aligns with the crimp terminal specifications and that the board space accommodates the vertical height of the housing.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Minitek MicroSpace series, designed for high-reliability interconnects in space-constrained environments. The platform supports various position counts and orientations, providing a standardized solution for modern electronics manufacturing where small form factors and robust connections are critical requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 18-position, 1.80mm pitch vertical headers from compatible families. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings match exactly. Alternative part numbers within the same Minitek series may offer different housing colors or packaging options while maintaining functional equivalence.
