10055293-10010TLF PCI Express Female Card Edge Connector

Part Overview

The 10055293-10010TLF is a 98-position female PCI Express card edge connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). This connector is designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring dual read-out capability with board guide and locking ramp features. The connector operates across the industrial temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and is RoHS compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). This part is currently in active production status with 895 units available in stock.

Alternative models are necessary when inventory constraints occur, when specific manufacturing certifications are required, or when design flexibility permits component substitution within equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 10055293-10010TLF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Card Type: PCI Express™ standard compliance is mandatory for electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Gender and Position Count: Female configuration with 98 positions must be maintained.

Pitch and Card Thickness: 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch and 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness are fixed mechanical requirements.

Mounting and Termination: Through-hole solder termination with staggered configuration must be preserved.

Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C minimum operating envelope.

Read Out Configuration: Dual read-out capability is required.

Features: Board guide and locking ramp features must be present.

The substitute part 0877159205 (Molex, Series 87715) meets all critical substitution criteria across these parameters, establishing it as an equivalent alternative.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 10055293-10010TLF and 0877159205 are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for PCI Express card edge connector applications. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance (RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant respectively) and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), suitable for standard industrial assembly and storage conditions.

The 0877159205 (Molex) offers higher inventory availability at 15,636 units compared to 895 units for the 10055293-10010TLF, making it a viable alternative when supply chain considerations are relevant. Both parts satisfy the same operating temperature range, mechanical dimensions, and functional requirements for PCI Express applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and established supplier relationships within your procurement workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0877159205 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 10055293-10010TLF?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet the critical substitution parameters: 98-position female PCI Express configuration, 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch, 0.062" (1.57mm) card thickness, dual read-out, through-hole solder termination, board guide and locking ramp features, and -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between these parts?

A: Yes. The 10055293-10010TLF uses copper alloy contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold finish thickness, while the 0877159205 uses phosphor bronze contacts with 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold finish thickness. Both materials and finishes are suitable for PCI Express applications within the specified operating conditions.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 10055293-10010TLF is RoHS Compliant, and the 0877159205 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS standards for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material?

A: The 10055293-10010TLF uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filler, while the 0877159205 uses polyamide (PA46) nylon 4/6. Both materials provide equivalent mechanical and electrical insulation properties for this connector category.

Q: Are the termination methods identical?

A: Both parts use solder termination for through-hole mounting. The 10055293-10010TLF specifies staggered termination, while the 0877159205 termination specification does not include this detail. The staggered configuration refers to the physical arrangement of solder points and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
