The FCI 67998-206HLF is a 6-position, dual-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series. It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — the same spacing as DIP ICs and perfboard — so it fits into a breadboard-friendly footprint. The male pins are square, through-hole solder termination, with a push-pull fastening type for unshrouded board-to-board connections. Rated 5A per contact at 110V, with gold or GXT™ plating at 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the mating surface. The 2.54mm insulation height keeps the mated stack low, and the UL94 V-0 black housing meets the flame rating for equipment inside an enclosure.
What the Ratings Mean for Fit
The 0.100" pitch is the load-bearing spec for board layout — it sets the footprint at 0.100" between pin centers, and the 0.100" row spacing matches standard DIP patterns. The 5A per contact rating is typical for signal and low-power distribution on this pitch; derate above the ambient temperature the board sees. The 15µin gold/GXT plating gives enough corrosion resistance for moderate mating cycles in a controlled environment — not a high-cycle field-service connector, but fine for a board-to-board interconnect that gets mated once or a few times.
