Ratings that drive the fit decision
The 75844-817-10LF: Pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm) — the universal grid that matches the footprint of every standard IDC socket, ribbon cable receptacle, and pin-header-compatible daughter card. The 5 A per circuit current rating is the limiting selection parameter: Gold GXT™ plating on phosphor bronze means this header is suitable for both signal and low-level power distribution. Derate per the product drawing if the application runs multiple circuits near their limit simultaneously.
Where this header fits
As a breakaway header with square pin geometry, the 75844-817-10LF mates with any standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch IDC receptacle, ribbon cable housing, or matching female header in the BERGSTIK® series — Amphenol FCI publishes a full mating-pair table for the 75844 base number. The dual-row unshrouded configuration means there is no polarisation key on the header itself; mis-mate protection in the system comes from the shroud or polarization tower on the mating half, so confirm the socket housing carries the required keying feature before specifying. The push-pull fastening type implies friction retention rather than a locking latch — in high-vibration environments the mating half should include a positive-lock or screw-mate feature. Black thermoplastic insulation is standard; the UL94 V-0 rating covers the vast majority of industrial and commercial equipment enclosures.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The 75844-817-10LF carries an Active product status — quoted to order against the BOM quantity with no stated last-time-buy window. The base product number 75844 anchors the part to its BERGSTIK® family; no official successor order code appears on record for this specific MPN, so for new designs confirm the full BERGSTIK® series parametric table if a later-generation variant is available. The part ships in bulk packaging. Confirm the mating half and board stack height before committing the BOM line — the 0.100" pitch and 10-position count are common across the series, but the post length and insulation height are fixed on this specific variant.
