Ratings that drive the fit decision
Where it is used
Board-to-board stacking is the primary use — the 0.100" pitch and through-hole tail solder directly into a daughter card that mates with a matching BERGSTIK® receptacle. The breakaway design lets you snap off sections of the header to match the exact pin count your board layout needs, which is why these headers appear in everything from industrial PLC modules to legacy communications equipment. The push-pull fastening type means the mating pair relies on header pin insertion depth rather than a locking latch — suited for applications where connectors are set and not repeatedly disconnected.
Sourcing and lifecycle
For procurement, the key confirmations before committing are the 72-position count matching your BOM circuit count and verifying the mating half — the matching BERGSTIK® dual-row receptacle or IDC socket with the same 2-row layout and 0.100" row spacing. Quoted to order against RFQ.
