The Amphenol FCI 68022-260HLF is a 60-position, dual-row, unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK® II series. It uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch on both rows and the row spacing, making it a drop-in fit for standard 0.100" grid prototyping and production boards. The right-angle through-hole orientation places the pins parallel to the PCB, which suits board-edge applications where a vertical header would interfere with an enclosure lid or adjacent card. Each phosphor bronze contact carries a 5 A rating at 110 V, with 15.0 µin (0.38 µm) gold or GXT™ plating on the mating surface. The gold thickness supports repeated mating cycles without contact fretting — a common failure mode in tin-plated headers that get disconnected during field service. The black UL94 V-0 housing provides the flame rating required for equipment inside an enclosure.
Within the BERGSTIK II family, the 68022-260HLF sits at 60 positions — a density that fills a full 2 x 30 grid. A common sibling is the 68022-236HLF at 36 positions (2 x 18) on the same 0.100" pitch. The choice between them is purely a circuit-count decision: the footprint, current rating, and plating are identical, so the BOM position count drives the selection.
