The FCI 68031-116HLF is a 16-position single-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series, on the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. It's a through-hole solder-terminated male pin header with a push-pull mating interface, designed for board-to-board stacking or wire-to-board applications where the mating receptacle provides the retention. The 30.0µin gold or Gold GXT™ finish on the mating contact surface handles repeated connect-disconnect cycles without the fretting corrosion you'd see on tin-plated contacts in a high-vibration cabinet.
Rated 5A per contact at 110V, this header is suited for signal-level and moderate power I/O — think logic-level loads, sensor inputs, or control board interconnects where the current per circuit stays under the 5A ceiling. The UL94 V-0 black insulation and phosphor bronze contacts with gold mating finish are standard for equipment inside an enclosure that requires a flammability rating. The 0.100" (2.54mm) insulation height keeps the profile low on the board, and the 0.230" (5.84mm) mating pin length gives enough engagement depth for standard box headers and IDC receptacles.
Active lifecycle status per the manufacturer — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy window to schedule around. This is a standard production part, sourced and quoted to order against your BOM quantity through independent distribution.
