What this connector is
The Amphenol FCI BERGSTIK® 75160-132-09LF is a single-row, unshrouded board-to-board header — nine square male pins on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination. The 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold GXT™ contact plating sits on a phosphor bronze base, rated 5 A per circuit at up to 110 V, across a −65 to 130 °C operating window. Push-pull fastening and square pin geometry make this a friction-lock header — it holds mated without a latch clip, so the pairing needs adequate clearance for insertion and withdrawal force. All nine positions are loaded.
Where it fits in the BERGSTIK series
The 75160 base product number identifies single-row unshrouded board-to-board headers on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with through-hole solder termination. The -09LF suffix specifies 9 positions.
What this connector is meant for
Board-to-board stacking at low current and signal-level duties — the 5 A per-circuit rating handles power distribution to secondary boards as well as control and signal routing. The 0.405 inch (10.29 mm) post-mating length gives adequate wipe and normal force for reliable contact in non-sealed environments. The UL94 V-0 thermoplastic body suits industrial enclosures where flame-retardance is a compliance requirement.
What the key ratings mean for the build
The 5 A per-contact rating is the governing spec — at 110 V it is well within the creepage and clearance envelope for a 2.54 mm pitch header, so voltage does not restrict the current path. The gold GXT™ plating (30.0 µin / 0.76 µm) delivers low insertion resistance and better corrosion resistance than tin, extending usable life in mildly hostile environments, though the phosphor bronze substrate makes it unsuitable for high-cycle hot-plugging without additional protection. The −65 to 130 °C window covers the full range of most industrial and automotive electronics board temperatures, but verify derating against your actual board-side thermal profile if the header sits near a heat source.
