What the 93690-106-60LF is
The Amphenol 93690-106-60LF is the 60-circuit member of the BERGSTIK dual-row header series — a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch board-to-board or cable-side header with square male pins, through-hole mounting, and dual termination capability (press-fit insertion or solder). All 60 positions are loaded. The mating-side contacts carry gold (GXT) plating at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm); the post-side solder tails are tin-plated at 39.4 µin (1.00 µm) — a split-plating scheme that puts the precious metal where cycling wear occurs and the solder-wettable finish where solderability matters.
Ratings that drive fit decisions
Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V — this positions it squarely in signal-duty territory with some power headroom on short runs. The 0.100 inch pitch and dual-row layout mean a 30-position row spacing of 0.100 inch, so the full board footprint is roughly 0.100 × 30 wide per row with two rows on 0.100 inch row spacing. The 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) insulation height and 0.508 inch (12.90 mm) overall contact length define the mated stack profile for board-stacking calculations. The push-pull fastening type and unshrouded header design mean this is not polarized — alignment is handled by the mating receptacle or IDC housing. Keying, if required, must come from the mating half's polarizing rib or a polarization pin in the housing. Do not specify this header as a keyed connector without confirming the housing provides that function. UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing — suitable for industrial and instrumentation environments where flame retardancy is required by the end-product standard.
