The Amphenol BERGSTIK® II 68031-136HLF is a 36-position, single-row unshrouded header on the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. It is a through-hole solder, male pin connector with a push-pull fastening interface — no locking ramp, so it relies on the friction of the pin-and-receptacle fit to stay mated. The 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on the mating surface gives it a solid margin for repeated mating cycles and corrosive environments, well beyond what a tin-plated header would tolerate in the same footprint.
What the ratings mean for the fit
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the legacy industry standard — it matches the vast installed base of 0.100" receptacles and the board footprint is a known quantity for any layout engineer. The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for signal-level interconnects on this pitch; the limiting factor is the temperature rise through the housing, not the contact itself. The 30.0µin gold plating means this header is built for field-serviceable assemblies where the connector sees multiple mate-unmate cycles over its life, not a one-time consumer crimp.
