What this connector is
The Amphenol FCI 68024-114HLF is a 14-position single-row unshrouded through-hole header in the BERGSTIK II series. It mates board-to-board at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with square male pins designed for push-pull engagement — no locking clip, no screw, just a firm seating that holds in static or low-vibration assemblies. The insulation is UL94 V-0 rated black thermoplastic; the contact is phosphor bronze with gold or Gold GXT contact finish over 30 microinches on the mating side.
Ratings that drive the fit
5 A per circuit is the headline figure — well above typical signal-header duty, so the 68024-114HLF handles low-level power distribution across its 14 circuits without needing a separate power bus. The 110 V rating covers most low-voltage board-level rails. The 30 microinch gold plating on the mating interface is the real durability story: it resists fretting in field-service environments where repeated mating cycles cause tin-plated contacts to degrade. At 5 A per contact, the de-rating curve stays comfortable at typical ambient temperatures, but check the mated stack thermal resistance if this header sits inside a sealed enclosure with no airflow. The 0.100 inch pitch matches the industry's most common grid, which means the board footprint mates with the entire 0.1-inch IDC ribbon-cable ecosystem and any IDC displacement connector from any vendor. All 14 positions are loaded, so there is no partial-load ambiguity when counting circuits against a BOM line.
What it is used for
Board-to-board headers like the 14-position BERGSTIK II are a common choice for internal signal and power interconnection in industrial controls and instrumentation.
