The Amphenol BERGSTIK II 68022-158HLF is a 58-position unshrouded dual-row header on a standard 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board interconnects. The right-angle through-hole mounting orients the connector parallel to the PCB edge, making it a fit for mezzanine or edge-card applications where the mating axis runs perpendicular to the board. The contacts are male pins with a square profile, gold or GXT plated to 30.0 µin on the mating surface — a plating grade that handles repeated mating cycles and resists corrosion in field-service environments.
Key ratings and what they mean for the build
Rated 5 A per contact, the current limit is typical for a signal-level BergStik header — the real constraint is the 58-position density and the temperature rise across the row, not the contact itself. The 110 V voltage rating supports standard logic-level and low-power DC rails. The push-pull fastening means no locking latch; the retention relies on the friction fit of the mating receptacle, so the assembly should be in a vibration-dampened enclosure or secured with board-mount hardware. The UL94 V-0 black housing is standard for equipment inside an enclosure requiring flame rating.
Mating and termination
This header mates with a standard 0.100-inch pitch dual-row receptacle housing (female socket strip) — the unshrouded design means the pins are exposed, so the mating half must provide the shroud or alignment. The termination is solder through-hole; the 0.110-inch (2.79 mm) post length suits standard PCB thicknesses around 0.062 inch. The 0.318-inch (8.08 mm) mating pin length gives good wipe length for reliable contact.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The 68022-158HLF carries an Active lifecycle status from Amphenol — full production, no end-of-life notice. No official cross-reference or direct replacement is recorded, so the BOM should reference this exact order code.
