8-Pin Dual-Row Header for Board-to-Board Stacking
The 67997-208HLF: The through-hole solder tails and 0.230" (5.84 mm) mating pin length allow it to plug into a matching receptacle or socket strip, creating a separable connection between two PCBs or between a PCB and a harness.
What the 3 A Rating Means in Practice
If the board runs hot — say 85°C ambient — derate the current per the BERGSTIK® II curve in the product drawing; the 130°C absolute maximum housing rating gives headroom, but the contact resistance rises with temperature. The phosphor bronze contact material handles repeated flex without taking a set, important when the header is mated and unmated during board-level test or field replacement.
Mating and Board Fit Details
That 0.120" post length suits standard 0.062" (1.6 mm) PCBs — the tail protrudes enough for a solid solder fillet without bottoming out on the opposite-side component.
