The Amphenol FCI 68031-508H is an 8-position, single-row, unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK II series. It is a board-to-board interconnect on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, with through-hole solder termination and a push-pull fastening type. The square pins are phosphor bronze with a gold or GXT plating on the mating surface, rated for 5 A per circuit at 110 V. The black UL94 V-0 rated housing suits equipment requiring a flame-retardant connector inside an enclosure.
What the Key Ratings Mean for Your Fit
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the de facto standard for prototyping and legacy production boards — it matches the common grid for perfboard and stripboard layouts, and the footprint is widely supported by CAD libraries. The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for signal-level interconnects in this pitch class; at this current, the temperature rise through the single-row housing stays within the material limits. The 15.0 µin gold plating on the mating surface provides enough cycle life for moderate field-service or production mating, without the cost of a heavy-gold specification. The 110 V rating is appropriate for low-voltage control and signal circuits, not mains power.
