The Amphenol BERGSTIK II 86832-468HLF is a 68-position dual-row board-to-board header in the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch BERGSTIK II family. Unshrouded male pins with square cross-section terminate through-hole to the PCB; push-pull fastening relies on header alignment and mating-connector pilot geometry rather than a locking clip. Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts carry 5A per circuit at 110V, with 100 µin (2.54 µm) of plating on the mating interface.
What the key ratings mean
At 68 positions across two rows with 0.100" pitch, the contact density concentrates routing around the connector footprint. Phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating carry 5A per contact at 110V. The 0.525" overall contact length and 0.100" post extension beyond the insulation shoulder give adequate lead-in for through-hole solder fill while limiting the mated stack height window. The insulation height of 0.100" (2.54mm) sets the board-separation baseline when mated to the matching receptacle. UL94 V-0 flammability rating on the housing covers the connector's own thermal fault tolerance; it does not certify the full assembly — the PCB and surrounding materials govern the end-product rating.
Where this connector fits
Board-to-board stacking is the primary application — the unshrouded square pin mates with the matching BERGSTIK II dual-row receptacle in a parallel or right-angle board stack. Without shrouding the pin field is exposed during handling; the push-pull fastening type means the mated pair depends on friction and alignment geometry rather than a positive lock, so this is best suited to applications where the board stack is fixed after mating and not subject to vibration or field service disconnection.
Sourcing
The 86832-468HLF carries an Active product status — quoted to order against BOM quantities. No official successor or cross-reference is listed in the lifecycle record; confirm the mating half and pinout before committing to the BOM line.
