The Amphenol FCI 10159684-06GLF is a 6-circuit, dual-row receptacle from the Minitek® Pwr 3.0 series. The female socket contacts terminate via crimp, making this a wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect built for harness assembly rather than direct PCB soldering.
For a procurement or compliance engineer, that is the difference between a connector that passes a white-goods safety audit and one that does not. It also meets ROHS3 — no restricted substances in the plating or polymer.
Crimp Termination and Harness Assembly
The female socket contacts are crimp-terminated, not soldered. That means the wire is attached with a crimp tool before the contact is inserted into the housing — standard practice for a harness builder. The receptacle accepts the matching Minitek Pwr 3.0 crimp terminal (sourced separately), and the dual-row layout gives 6 positions in a compact 2x3 arrangement. Panel mounting with the integral latch secures the housing to a cutout, which is useful when the cable assembly needs to be routed through an enclosure wall.
