What this connector is
Mating and termination
The mating half is a corresponding dual-row BERGSTIK II receptacle housing (or an IDC edge-card connector with matching 0.100-inch row spacing). The unshrouded header allows polarization keying to be added at the housing level — the keying cut is made in the receptacle, not the header itself. Push-pull fastening means the mating is by insertion force and extraction force — no jack screw or latch. This suits applications where quick-disconnect is needed but vibration is controlled. If vibration is a concern in the end equipment, a friction-fit board standoff or clip should be specified alongside the header to prevent backout.
Where it fits in the BERGSTIK II series
Plating options within the series vary: standard tin, standard gold flash, and the Gold GXT grade (30µin) used here. The GXT grade is the mid-tier between flash gold and hard gold — it handles more mating cycles than flash while costing less than hard gold, which matters if the equipment sees field service reconnect cycles.
Sourcing and production status
Substitute candidates within BERGSTIK II share the same pitch, row spacing, and through-hole footprint — position count is the primary selection variable. Confirm post length and insulation height on the mating half to match board-stack geometry.
