The FCI 68022-142HLF is a 42-position, dual-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for board-to-board interconnect. It uses a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch on both rows and contacts, with a right-angle through-hole termination — the pins sit parallel to the board edge, suited for mezzanine or perpendicular stacking where the mating receptacle approaches from the side. All 42 positions are loaded, so the BOM position count matches the circuit count directly.
The 30.0 µin (0.76µm) gold or GXT™ finish on the mating surface supports repeated mating cycles and resists corrosion in moderate industrial environments — a step up from basic tin plating for applications where the connector sees periodic disconnection. The 5 A per-contact rating is typical for this pitch class; the limiting factor is the temperature rise of the housing, not the contact itself, so derate above 25 °C ambient per the manufacturer's curve. The unshrouded design means there is no keying or polarization — the mating receptacle must be aligned by the board layout or a separate alignment feature.
This part is listed as Obsolete by the manufacturer. There is no official successor order code on record for the 68022-142HLF. For a BOM that requires this exact pinout and footprint, the only channel is surplus or broker inventory — sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time; no stock-holding claim is made here. If your design can tolerate a parametric alternative, a cross-reference search against the 0.100" pitch, 42-position, dual-row, unshrouded header family is the next step — but no direct replacement is documented.
