The Amphenol FCI (Amphenol) 68022-260HLF is a 60-circuit dual-row board-to-board header in the BERGSTIK II series, terminated with square male pins designed for through-hole right-angle soldering onto a PCB. With a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and 5 A per contact at 110 V, it serves as a mid-density signal and low-power interconnect in backplane-to-daughtercard routing, prototyping breadboards, and industrial control modules where the standard 0.100" grid aligns with through-hole board layouts. The housing is UL94 V-0 rated black, the contacts are phosphor bronze with 15.0 µin (0.38 µm) gold plating on the mating face, and all 60 positions are populated.
The 0.100" pitch and dual-row configuration place this header on the classic 0.100" grid — the same spacing used across the full BERGSTIK II family and widely compatible with perf board, proto board, and standard through-hole footprints. The right-angle orientation routes the board entry horizontal to the PCB surface, which determines the z-height budget at the board edge: the insulation height sits at 0.240" (6.10 mm) above the mounting face, and the post extends 0.110" (2.79 mm) below the board surface — the full mated engagement depth including the mating contact reach is 0.318" (8.08 mm). The 5 A per-contact rating at 110 V positions this as a signal-dominant interconnect. The gold plating thickness of 15.0 µin (0.38 µm) on the mating surface is the primary driver of contact durability across reconnect cycles — a thicker gold layer resists fretting and surface oxidation better than tin at the interface. The push-pull fastening type refers to the mating action with the matching receptacle; the header itself carries no locking latch, so retention in service depends on the receptacle's design and the overall assembly configuration. The HLF suffix on the order code indicates halogen-free material composition consistent with modern environmental compliance requirements; the UL94 V-0 flammability rating confirms the housing resin meets the ignition-resistance threshold required in enclosed equipment and industrial enclosures. The connector ships in a bag (no tray or tube packaging on this part), and all 60 positions are loaded — there are no skipped or dummy circuits in this configuration.
