What This Connector Is
The Amphenol FCI 87901-116HLF is the 16-circuit member of the BERGSTIK II board-to-board header series — a dual-row, unshrouded male pin header with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and through-hole termination. It mates with the matching BERGSTIK II receptacle housing to form a compact board-stacking or wire-to-board junction, and is packaged in a bag. The push-pull fastening type means it relies on a friction-fit retention — no locking latch — so confirm the vibration environment of the end equipment before committing to this part in a harsh-duty application.
Key Ratings and What They Mean
The 5 A per contact current rating at 110V places this header in the low-to-medium power band for a 2.54mm pitch connector — it will carry signal and moderate power buses without issue. The contact finish is gold or Gold GXT with a 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) mating-side thickness — that plating grade signals repeated mating cycle capability and lower contact resistance at first mate compared to tin-only alternatives. Phosphor bronze contact material gives good spring fatigue life for the intended cycle count. The housing is rated UL94 V-0, which clears the flammability requirement for most enclosed commercial and industrial equipment.
Sourcing and Availability
The 87901-116HLF carries an Active lifecycle status. No official successor order code or cross-reference is listed in the record. Quoted to order against BOM quantity — confirm the lead time and your line feed schedule before the build hits the slot. If a second-source is required, check the BERGSTIK II series for a pin-compatible alternate before exploring other families, since a different foot pattern will force a board respin.
