The Amphenol 68022-168HLF is a 68-position unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK® II series, arranged in two rows on a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with a matching 0.100" row spacing.
Pitch and footprint fit
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the legacy DIP-compatible spacing — the footprint matches standard 0.100" grid PCBs. With 68 positions across two rows, the header occupies 34 positions per row, requiring roughly 3.4" of board edge for the right-angle solder tails. The 0.110" (2.79 mm) post length is sized for standard 0.062" PCBs; verify the board thickness against the solder tail protrusion for wave solder clearance.
Contact plating and duty
The unshrouded header body (UL94 V-0) offers no polarization or keying — the mating receptacle must provide alignment.
Mounting and orientation
Right-angle through-hole mounting places the pin row parallel to the board surface. For vibration-prone assemblies, consider a shrouded header or a secondary retention method.
