How It Mounts and What It Mates With
The 68022-232HLF: Right-angle through-hole mounting places the insulator body flat against the board with the pin rows projecting horizontally — the 0.110 inch (2.79 mm) tail length gives enough solder pad engagement for a secure joint, and the 0.240 inch (6.10 mm) insulation height defines the z-protrusion from the board surface. The header is unshrouded with push-pull fastening — no locking latch, no polarization key — so the mating half must be a matching dual-row BERGSTIK II receptacle with sufficient pin entry depth (0.318 inch / 8.08 mm) to fully engage the square pins. All 32 positions are loaded; every column is populated.
Ratings That Drive the Design Decision
At 5 A per circuit and 110 V the 68022-232HLF sits squarely in signal-duty territory — adequate for discrete logic-level lines, status buses, and low-power control signals across the board-to-board interface. The 15.0 µin (0.38 µm) gold on the mating face gives the contact reasonable resistance stability across repeated matings; the UL94 V-0 insulator rating means it passes the most common flammability requirement for commercial equipment enclosures. The push-pull fastening type is a passive friction fit — confirm the vibration environment of the end equipment does not demand a positive-lock or latching mate, because this header has none.
