Board Layout Fit and Routing
The 10077239-108LF: Press-fit termination eliminates the solder joint, which reduces thermal stress during assembly and allows rework without desoldering — useful for backplane or high-reliability builds where solder voids are a concern.
Contact Interface and Mating Cycles
The tin-plated post is the standard choice for solder or press-fit termination; the gold-on-tin galvanic couple is avoided because the post never sees the mating interface. Phosphor bronze contact material provides good spring retention and corrosion resistance, supporting the 3 A per-contact current rating without significant temperature rise at 25 °C ambient.
The base product number 10077239 covers the full BERGSTIK® II breakaway family; this specific variant (108LF) is the 8-position, dual-row, gold-plated, press-fit version in bulk packaging.
