1.0 Objective
This specification defines the performance, test, quality and reliability requirements of the Universal Contact
product.
2.0 Scope
This specification is applicable to the termination characteristics of the Universal Contact family of products
which provides a means to electrically connect a device to a printed circuit board assembly.
3.0 Ratings
3.1 Operating Voltage Rating = 12V DC
3.2 Operating Current Rating = 2 Amps/pin (1 Amps/pin only for 10123973-00*RLF)
3.3 Operating Temperature Range = -40 ℃~+85℃
3.4 Storage Conditions
Well controlled storage conditions are a major factor in ensuring good product solderability. Do not
store products where their properties can be deteriorated by harmful gases or significant variations in
temperatures or humidity. In the storage facility, climatic conditions shall be according to IEC 60721-3-1,
class 1K2 are advised, with the following exceptions:
• low relative humidity shall be ≥ 10%
• high relative humidity shall be ≤ 75%
It is assumed that during storage the product is in the as-received shipping cartons or boxes from FCI;
(i.e, the shipping cartons or boxes have not been opened).
3.5 Shelf life
FCI Electronics Division recommends that the shelf life of solderable products be ≤ 30 months
following the date printed on the primary labels on the product packaging:
• FCI Electronics division or Distributor partner storage may not exceed 24 months.
• Storage at customer locations shall not exceed 6 months.
This is based upon solderabililty evaluations after storage under controlled environmental conditions.
