The Amphenol FCI 68023-416HLF is a 16-position, single-row, unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series. It uses a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and terminates through right-angle solder tails for board-edge mounting. The tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts are rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, with a 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) tin finish on the mating surface. The black UL94 V-0 nylon body and push-pull fastening make it a straightforward, no-frills board-to-board interconnect for moderate-duty signal and low-power applications.
What the ratings mean for the fit
The 0.100 inch pitch is the standard breadboard-compatible spacing — it matches legacy perfboard layouts and common 0.100 inch receptacles. The 5 A per contact rating is real for a single row at room temperature, but the unshrouded header has no polarisation or keying; if the mating half is misaligned, the contacts can short against an adjacent pin. The 100.0 µin tin plating on the mating surface is a heavy tin layer — good for moderate mating cycles (50-100 mates) in clean, indoor environments, but not for frequent field-service connections where gold would be preferred. The right-angle orientation places the pin row parallel to the board surface, which keeps the mated height low and suits board-edge card-edge or mezzanine applications where vertical space is tight.
