The FCI 67998-168HLF is a 68-position, dual-row unshrouded header in the BERGSTIK® II series. It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch on both rows and between rows, making it footprint-compatible with a wide range of legacy and current board-to-board designs. All 68 positions are loaded with square male pins in phosphor bronze, with a mating-side gold finish (30.0µin) that supports repeated mating cycles without contact resistance drift.
The 5 A per-contact rating is typical for a 0.100" pitch header at this pin count — the limiting factor is the temperature rise across the full 68-circuit matrix, not the contact itself. For signal-level loads (logic, data, low-current control), this is generous headroom. For power distribution, derate per the manufacturer's curve if ambient exceeds 25 °C. The 0.318" mating length gives a solid wipe on the receptacle contact, and the 0.107" post length suits standard 0.062" PCBs — confirm your board thickness against the post length before layout.
