The Amphenol Communications Solutions G14B80121612HR is an OCuLink 8X board receptacle connector designed for compact, high-density high-speed interconnect systems. Amphenol specifies the device as an 80-contact, 8X board connector with a right-angle SMT configuration and tape-and-reel packaging.
The connector uses 80 contacts with a 0.5mm contact pitch, providing a high-density connection interface while minimizing PCB footprint. It is configured as a single-port receptacle and uses solder termination for surface-mount PCB assembly.
The G14B80121612HR features a right-angle body orientation, allowing the mating interface to run parallel to the PCB. Amphenol’s official description also specifies a 2.9mm shell-leg DIP length, providing additional mechanical attachment to the PCB.
Electrical specifications include a maximum current rating of approximately 0.5A per contact and a maximum voltage rating of 30V AC/DC. Maximum contact resistance is specified at 30mΩ, while insulation resistance is approximately 100MΩ.
The contacts are manufactured from copper alloy with gold-over-nickel plating. DigiKey lists a gold finish thickness of approximately 15µin (0.38µm), supporting reliable electrical contact performance in repeated mating applications.
The connector is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and approximately 50 mating cycles. Product dimensions are approximately 23.1 × 9 × 3.92mm according to distributor technical data.
The G14B80121612HR is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging, making it suitable for automated SMT production. Amphenol currently lists the part as Active.
