Amphenol ExaMAX Vertical Header Assembly
This document provides technical specifications and dimensional information for the Amphenol ExaMAX Vertical Header Assembly series, part number 10121067.
Product Overview
The ExaMAX Vertical Header Assembly is a high-performance connector designed for various applications. It offers multiple configurations including standard mate, advanced mate, and short detect functionalities, with options for left and right guidance modules.
Key Features and Configurations
- Part Numbering System: The base part number is 10121067, with suffixes indicating specific configurations (e.g., -Y01LF, -101LF, -201LF, -301LF, -401LF, -Y1ALF, -Y2ALF, -Y1YLF, -Y2YLF).
- Configurations:
- Standard Mate: (e.g., 10121067-Y01LF)
- Advanced Mate: Provides earlier mating of signal and ground contacts. (e.g., 10121067-201LF)
- Short Detect: Includes a short detect feature. (e.g., 10121067-301LF)
- Advanced Mate/Short Detect: Combines both advanced mate and short detect features. (e.g., 10121067-401LF)
- Guidance Modules: Available with left or right guidance for proper alignment. (e.g., 10121067-Y1ALF, 10121067-Y2ALF)
- Contact Arrangement: The connectors feature a 4-pair, 112-position, 8-column layout.
- Materials: Housing is high-temperature thermoplastic (UL94-VO), IMLA plastic is high-temperature thermoplastic (UL94-VO), contacts are copper alloy, and guide pins/key pins are zinc alloy.
- Contact Plating: Separable interface uses performance-based plating meeting FCI Product Specification GS-12-1096. Press-fit tails are tin over nickel (lead-free).
Dimensional Information
Detailed dimensional drawings are provided for various configurations, illustrating the layout, spacing, and overall dimensions of the connectors. Key dimensions include:
- Row and column identification.
- Signal and ground pair centers.
- Overall dimensions such as length, width, and height.
- PCB layout recommendations with specific via spacing and antipad details.
Refer to the individual sheets for specific dimensional callouts and PCB layout diagrams.
Notes and Specifications
- Product Specification: GS-12-1096
- Application Specification: GS-20-0361
- Packaging Specification: GS-14-920 (Lead Free)
- Reflow Soldering: The housing can withstand exposure to 260°C peak temperature for 10-30 seconds.
- Guidance Module Mounting: For connectors with guide modules, a M2 Phillips pan head screw (2.0-6.0mm length) is required to secure the connector to the PCB.
- Integrated Guide Orientation: Determined by the location of guide features relative to the mating face.
- Ground Contacts: All ground contacts within a column are commoned.
- Customer Drawings: Refer to customer drawing 10119933 for PCB hole diameters and plating options. Refer to routing guide GS-20-0511 for footprint and trace routing optimization.
