Sizing the Power Path: Current and Contact Finish
The 10127720-022LF: Current rating is not a fixed number — it varies by wire gauge attached to the mating receptacle. The header itself can handle the full rated current of the Minitek Pwr 3.0 contact system, which is typically 5 A per circuit with 20 AWG wire; derate for smaller gauges and elevated ambient temperature. Contact finish is gold flash over copper alloy. Gold flash provides corrosion resistance and reliable contact for moderate mating cycles (50–100 cycles typical) in clean environments. Voltage rating is 600 VAC/DC, suitable for industrial power distribution and control circuits within the Minitek Pwr 3.0 system.
This header mates with Minitek Pwr 3.0 receptacle housings (e.g., 10127720-0xxLF series) loaded with crimp terminals. The 2-row, 3.00 mm pitch layout matches the receptacle's contact spacing. Termination is solder — the through-hole posts (0.126" length) are designed for wave soldering.
RoHS compliant.
