What This Header Is
What It Mates With and How It Terminates
Being an unshrouded push-pull male header, it mates with any matching square-socket IDC or crimp receptacle housing in the BERGSTIK II family. The termination is through-hole solder — the post extends through the PCB and is soldered on the opposite side, which gives mechanical redundancy that surface-mount friction fits cannot. All 12 positions are loaded, meaning every circuit is populated with a contact — there is no partial-load option on this part number. The friction-lock push-pull feature means the receptacle body snaps into the header slot and extracts by pulling; there is no threaded latch, so vibration can walk the pair loose if the board assembly is not constrained or housed.
Sourcing and Lifecycle
The 68024-112HLF carries an Active product status — it is in normal production and sourced to order against BOM quantities via RFQ. No official successor order code appears on this listing. The base product number 68024 is the series anchor; any same-series variant with a different position count or plating grade is a parametric sibling, not an automatically cross-referenced part — confirm the position count and finish before substituting. The 30 µin (0.76 µm) gold finish gives reasonable reconnection cycle durability for an industrial board-to-board stack that is mated and unmated infrequently during assembly or service.
