What the 95687-156HLF is
The Amphenol FCI 95687-156HLF is the 56-circuit member of the BERGSTIK II dual-row header series — a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch board-to-board interconnect with push-pull male pins designed for through-hole soldering into a PCB. All 56 positions are loaded (no partial-load option on this part number). The header mates with the matching BERGSTIK II receptacle housing, and the unshrouded pin geometry means the receptacle must provide the polarizing key — there are no integral ribs on the header itself.
Ratings that drive fit decisions
At 5 A per contact the 95687-156HLF handles moderate power distribution across its 56 circuits without needing a dedicated power connector — the phosphor bronze contact beam maintains low resistance through the full mated interface. The gold or Gold GXT contact finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) gives the mating interface durability for multiple cycle engagements without the fretting risk of thin tin plating. The 110 V rating is the voltage ceiling; above that the 2.54 mm pitch and air-gap geometry become the limiting factor, not the contact material itself. The insulation body is rated UL94 V-0 — the connector can be specified inside enclosed equipment where flame retardance is a compliance requirement, without needing an additional fire barrier. The 0.100" (2.54mm) insulation height sits flush with the board surface, which matters for mezzanine stacking where the mated pair needs to clear adjacent components.
What the packaging and form factor mean for the build
Shipped in a Bag — not tape-and-reel. For high-volume automated placement this part requires tray or tube feeding if the assembler supports it. The all-positions-loaded configuration means the full 56 circuits are populated across both rows, so there is no partial-position variant of this specific part number — a different base product number would be needed.
