What This Connector Is
The Amphenol FCI 68000-413HLF is the 13-circuit member of the BERGSTIK II unshrouded header series, configured as a single-row board-to-board male pin header with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and through-hole solder termination. Phosphor bronze contacts carry tin plating on both the mating face and the solder-tail post at 100 µin (2.54 µm) thickness — a standard grade suited to signal and low-power interconnects rather than high-current power bus duty. The push-pull fastening type relies on header-to-housing friction retention without a locking latch; verify that the intended mating receptacle applies sufficient normal force to maintain contact under any system vibration profile. With all 13 positions loaded, the insulation body is black polyphenylene sulfide rated UL94 V-0, and the full operating envelope spans -65 to 125 °C.
Key Ratings and What They Mean
Pitch at 0.100" (2.54 mm) is the standard 0.100-inch grid used across the BERGSTIK II series and the broader 0.100-inch header ecosystem — the board footprint matches any 0.100-inch pitch receptacle with compatible circuit count and orientation. At 3 A per contact the 68000-413HLF sits within the typical current ceiling for tin-plated 0.100-inch pitch headers; the per-contact rating is the governing figure, not a bus-bar total, so each of the 13 circuits carries its own 3 A limit independently. The -65 to 125 °C operating range covers most industrial and automotive board-level environments; de-rate current per your thermal model if the header runs near the high end of that window in a densely populated board. The 100 µin (2.54 µm) tin finish on the mating interface provides good solderability and reasonable多次 mate cycles for an unkeyed header — if the application demands more than a few dozen manual mate/de-mate cycles, confirm the receptacle's contact material matches that expectation.
Applications
Board-to-board stacking, daughter-card-to-backplane, and internal signal interconnects in industrial controls, instrumentation, and communications equipment are the typical deployment for a 13-position unshrouded 0.100-inch header. The unshrouded design maximises routing access on the header flank but offers no polarisation keying — if mis-mate prevention matters, the mating receptacle must carry its own keying or the board layout must enforce orientation before header installation. The through-hole solder tails anchor mechanically to the PCB; the 0.095" (2.41 mm) post length suits standard PCB thicknesses. The black UL94 V-0 housing material meets most industrial flammability requirements for enclosed equipment.
Sourcing
This part carries an Active lifecycle status and is quoted to order against BOM quantities. The BERGSTIK II series is a long-standing product line; no official successor order code is listed for the 68000-413HLF specifically. Confirm the 13-circuit position count matches your BOM line before committing — the same series ships in multiple position counts and a circuit-count mismatch is the most common ordering error on multi-position headers.
