The FCI 68023-402HLF is a 2-position, single-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK II series, designed for board-to-board interconnect. It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch — the same spacing as breadboard proto boards and legacy DIP footprints — so the board layout is straightforward. The right-angle through-hole orientation places the pin axis parallel to the PCB, which is typical for edge-card mating or low-profile wire-to-board connections where the mating receptacle approaches from the board edge.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 5 A per-circuit rating at 110 V is the ceiling for signal-level power — think sensor supply, logic power, or low-current relay control. The 100 µ" tin plating on the mating surface is thick enough for hundreds of mating cycles in a clean indoor environment; tin is a cost-effective choice where gold's corrosion resistance isn't needed. The UL94 V-0 black PA housing meets the flammability requirement for equipment inside an enclosure. For a 2-position unshrouded header, the contact length of 0.136" (3.45 mm) on the mating side and 0.305" (7.75 mm) on the solder post side are the dimensions to check against your receptacle and board thickness.
