What this connector is
The Amphenol FCI 57102-F06-05ULF is the 10-position dual-row member of the Minitek® 2.00mm header series — a 0.079 inch (2.00 mm) pitch board-to-board male pin header designed for through-hole solder termination. The push-pull fastening type holds the mated pair without jack screws or hardware, which keeps the profile low but relies on the mating receptacle's retention spring for vibration security. Unshrouded contacts mean pin exposure on all four sides; the connector is not keyed and requires correct polarity alignment at assembly.
Plating grade and what it means for duty
The mating interface carries gold flash plating over the copper alloy contact base, while the solder tails are tin-plated at 78.7 µin (2.00 µm) — a standard finish for reflow compatibility and solderability. Gold flash is appropriate for signal-level current (2 A per circuit AC/DC,) and a limited number of mating cycles; it resists fretting corrosion at low current better than tin alone, but the flash thickness is not a high-cycle solution. For applications requiring repeated field reconnections, the mating half's contact material and plating grade become the limiting factor, not the header alone.
Board layout fit
The 0.059 inch (1.50 mm) insulation height sets the board-stand-off when the header is vertical; for right-angle board stacking the mated pair's combined height is driven by the receptacle's housing depth plus this header's overall contact length of 0.315 inch (8.00 mm,). The post tail extends 0.098 inch (2.50 mm) below the housing body; the full mating pin length is 0.157 inch (4.00 mm,). Row spacing matches the 2.00 mm pitch, so the two rows sit 2.00 mm apart centre-to-centre — routing between them requires careful trace planning at the board entry zone.
Where this series is used
Minitek 2.00mm headers are commonly specified in industrial automation, instrumentation, and consumer electronics as an economical mid-density board-to-board signal interconnect. The 200 V rating accommodates signal and low-level power busing; the UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing satisfies flame-retardancy requirements for enclosed equipment. The dual-row 10-position count suits applications that need more than a single-row strip but do not require the density or shrouding of a sealed automotive-grade connector.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The 57102-F06-05ULF carries an Active product status and is available as a standard franchise-line part quoted to order against the BOM quantity. No official successor order code or cross-reference is on record for this series — if the application requires a pin-compatible alternative with a different plating grade or shrouding configuration, the comparison must be made against the full Minitek 2.00mm datasheet range. Contact a distributor with your BOM position count and mating half before committing.
