The Amphenol FCI 10159684-04GLF is a 4-circuit, dual-row receptacle from the Minitek® Pwr 3.0 series. It uses a 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch and the same row spacing, so the footprint is square — the header pins line up in a 2x2 grid. This is the female housing that accepts crimp terminals and mounts into a panel cutout, not a board-mounted header. The PA66 insulation is halogen free, and the operating range of -40°C ~ 105°C covers the thermal cycle of an unsealed cabinet.
Wiring It Up: Termination and Panel Fit
The housing is panel mount, meaning it snaps into a rectangular cutout in the enclosure wall or a bracket. The glow wire compliant PA66 material means the housing passes the IEC 60695-2-11 glow wire test at 750°C — a requirement for appliances that must not sustain a flame.
Position Count: 4 vs 6 vs 12 vs 16
The 4-position 10159684-04GLF is the smallest dual-row member in the Minitek Pwr 3.0 receptacle family. The same housing design scales up to 6 (10159684-06GLF), 12 (10159684-12GLF), and 16 (10159684-16GLF) positions, all sharing the same 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch, row spacing, panel mount feature, and glow wire rating. The choice is purely circuit count — the 4-position fits a 2x2 pin header; the 6-position is a 2x3 layout. If you need more, the 6-position sibling is the next step up at the same pitch and same physical housing width per row.
