What this connector is
The Molex 68001-102 is the 2-position member of the BERGSTIK II series — a single-row unshrouded board-to-board header in 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Square male pins mount through-hole and mate with the matching BERGSTIK II socket or receptacle housing in the same series. Gold-over-nickel plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) on the mating interface gives the contact durability for repeated matings at the rated 3A per contact.
Ratings that drive the selection
Current is 3A per contact at the listed rating — the phosphor bronze contact material and the 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold plating thickness determine that headroom. The contact finish field lists both Gold and Gold GXT™ variants under the same order code; confirm the plating option at order time if the grade matters for your cycle-life requirement. Operating temperature spans -65°C to 125°C, wide enough for most industrial and telecom backplane environments. The housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating. This is a push-pull push-pull fastening type — the connector latches into the mating half without tool actuation. The board-to-board style means it is designed for a fixed stack-height connection rather than repeated in-field matings, which is consistent with the unshrouded open-pin profile.
