What this connector is
The Amphenol 87900-114HLF is the 14-circuit member of the BERGSTIK II dual-row header series, configured as an unshrouded male pin with through-hole solder termination. Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, it is designed for board-to-board stacking in applications where the 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch aligns with standard 0.1-inch header footprints across the industry. The push-pull fastening type holds the mated pair without jack-screws or hardware — alignment relies on the unshrouded pin array, so proper seating is confirmed by feel. The insulation body is rated UL94 V-0.
Ratings that drive the selection decision
Current rating of 5 A per circuit and voltage rating of 110 V together set the duty ceiling — at 110 V the voltage is the binding constraint, and the 5 A headroom is not a power connector rating; treat this as a signal-level header. Contact length post of 0.120" (3.05 mm) and overall contact length of 0.940" (23.88 mm) define how far the header sits proud of the board surface — confirm your board stack-up and solder wave or hand-solder clearance.
Where this header fits
Board-to-board style positions this as a stacking or pass-through header in a harness or daughtercard assembly. The 0.100" insulation height gives approximately 2.54 mm of board standoff when mated to a compatible receptacle — a standard spacing for most through-hole layouts. Phosphor bronze contact material provides good spring compliance for a stamped square-pin header; the contact shape is square, which seats firmly in a matching IDC or machined socket but does not self-align radially the way a turned round pin does. Black insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating suits applications where flame-retardant housing material is required — common in industrial control and instrumentation enclosures.
Sourcing and availability
The 87900-114HLF is listed Active — quoted to order against the BOM quantity. No official cross-reference or L* successor is on record for this order code, so confirm the part number against your BOM line before RFQ. The packaging is bag, which is standard for loose-header distribution. The only stated compliance attribute is UL94 V-0 — no RoHS or REACH declaration, UL electrical rating, or VDE rating appears in this listing. If compliance documentation is required for your build, request the full certificate package from the manufacturer before finalising the order.
