The Amphenol FCI 68004-211HLF is an 11-position, single-row unshrouded male header from the BergStik® II series. It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, making it a direct fit for legacy 0.100" grid layouts and common prototyping boards. Rated at 5 A per circuit with 15 µ" gold plating on the mating surface, it handles moderate signal-level current with good corrosion resistance for repeated mating cycles. The through-hole solder termination and UL94 V-0 black PA housing suit it for general-purpose board-to-wire and board-to-board interconnects inside enclosed equipment.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the key footprint parameter — it matches the industry-standard 0.100" header grid, so board layout is straightforward with no custom pad spacing. The 11 positions are fully loaded, meaning every pin is present; if your BOM calls for fewer circuits, a 10- or 12-position sibling at the same pitch is a direct swap without changing the board pattern. The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for signal-level duty in this pitch class; the limiting factor is the narrow pin cross-section and the temperature rise of the unshrouded housing, not the contact itself. The 15 µ" gold plating on the mating surface supports hundreds of mating cycles without oxidation — adequate for field-serviceable assemblies where the connector is mated and unmated during installation or maintenance.
