What Is This Z012-4G7U1-11000-E000 Clip Terminal?
The Amphenol Z012-4G7U1-11000-E000 is a clip terminal with a solder termination, designed for a 2.1 mm height and a SUS T0.15 material thickness. It's a surface-mount style clip that gets soldered directly to a PCB pad, providing a spring-contact interface for a mating component or battery cell. This isn't a crimp terminal for a wire — it's a board-level contact clip, the kind you'd find in battery holders, SIM card sockets, or any application needing a low-profile, solderable spring contact.
Key Specs: Height, Termination, and Package
When you're laying out a board for a battery contact or a grounding clip, that height sets the z-axis clearance to the mating part. The termination is solder, so it reflows onto the board pad during the SMT oven pass.
Sourcing: Where to Get Z012-4G7U1-11000-E000
This is an active, current-production Amphenol part. For a BOM line that needs this exact clip terminal, the RFQ is the step that locks in the delivery window.
How Does It Compare to Sibling Parts?
The Z002-4B7C1-11000 and Z02G-4G7R1-11000 also share those same three attributes. The difference between these siblings is in the clip geometry — the material thickness, the height, the spring force profile — which is encoded in the part number's middle digits. For a direct swap, you'd need to match the exact height and material spec to the board layout; the Z000-4G7U1-11000 is the closest functional second-source candidate if the Z012 variant is unavailable, but confirm the clip's physical fit against your PCB footprint before committing.
