Product Introduction
The Amphenol ICC 68022-402HLF is a 2-position, dual-row male header from the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for board-to-board interconnect on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It is an unshrouded, right-angle through-hole header with push-pull fastening, carrying tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V. The black UL94 V-0 housing suits internal equipment assemblies where flame rating is required.
Key Features and Characteristics
The 0.100" pitch matches the standard 2.54 mm grid, so the footprint aligns with any BergStik-compatible board layout. The right-angle orientation places the header parallel to the PCB, useful for edge-mount or space-constrained enclosures where a vertical header would interfere with a cover or adjacent board. Tin plating at 100.0 µin on the mating surface is a thick, cost-effective finish for moderate mating cycles — adequate for internal connections that are not frequently disconnected in the field. The phosphor bronze base metal provides good spring retention over the connector's service life. The unshrouded design means the header has no polarization keying — the mating receptacle housing must provide alignment and strain relief. Push-pull fastening is the simplest retention method; it relies on the friction of the contact interface and the mating housing's latch for secure engagement.
Applications and Environments
This header is used as a board-to-board signal interconnect in assemblies where a low-profile, right-angle connection is needed — typical in industrial control boards, test equipment, and consumer electronics internal wiring. The UL94 V-0 housing makes it acceptable for equipment inside an enclosure requiring a flame-rated component.
What the Ratings Mean
5 A per circuit at 110 V is a signal-level rating — the current is limited by the contact cross-section and the temperature rise of the housing, not by the plating. The 0.100" row spacing (2.54 mm) gives enough creepage for the 110 V rating without forcing an oversized board footprint. The 0.318" (8.08 mm) mating contact length provides a solid wipe distance for reliable contact engagement across tolerance stack-ups.
Sourcing and Lifecycle
No official cross-reference or replacement exists; the 2-position count and 0.100" pitch are the critical fit parameters to match against the mating half.
