10146997-12000LF

Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 10146997-12000LF is a Minitek Power5.7 Double Row Angled Through-Hole Header featuring 12 positions with a 5.7 mm pitch. It utilizes male pin contacts made of copper alloy, finished with 30 µin gold mating surfaces and tin posts. Rated for 23 A current and 600 VAC voltage, the connector operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +120°C. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic, ensuring reliable power-to-board interconnections in industrial and computing applications.

Feature Summary

• Double row angled through-hole header design for high-density power distribution
• Gold-plated contact finish ensures reliable signal integrity and corrosion resistance
• High current and voltage ratings suitable for demanding industrial environments

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
• Computing and data storage infrastructure
• Optoelectronic product power interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact finish specifications, as variations may exist between gold and tin plating options. Ensure the selected variant matches the required current carrying capacity and thermal performance for the target application. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions and mating partner compatibility before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a double-row configuration is required to maximize pin density on a printed circuit board. The 5.7 mm pitch provides ample spacing for high-current applications compared to standard headers. Consider the angled orientation for easier cable routing or vertical stacking constraints. Validate that the 23 A rating aligns with the system's electrical load requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Minitek Power5.7 series, designed for robust power transmission. Amphenol ICC was formed by merging Amphenol FCI and Amphenol IT Communications Products, combining expertise in both communication and power connectivity solutions. This series emphasizes high reliability and durability for critical infrastructure connections.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 10146997-12100LF variant, which shares the same physical form factor but features different contact finish specifications. Verify that any replacement maintains the identical 12-position count, 5.7 mm pitch, and double-row angled configuration to ensure mechanical compatibility.
