BERGSTIK® II Unshrouded Header — 10-Position Right-Angle Board-to-Board
The 68405-110HLF is a FCI BERGSTIK® II series unshrouded male header, built for board-to-board interconnect. It carries 10 positions across two rows on a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — the standard 0.100" x 0.100" grid that mates with a matching dual-row receptacle or ribbon-cable IDC connector. The right-angle through-hole termination places the pin rows parallel to the PCB, useful for board-edge or mezzanine layouts where the cable exits along the board plane. Rated 5A per contact at 110V, with a 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold or Gold GXT™ mating finish. That gold thickness supports repeated mating cycles in production or field-service environments — the 30µin layer is standard for moderate-cycle applications like test fixtures, programmer headers, or internal board stacks that see occasional rework. The phosphor bronze contact material provides good spring retention over the life of the connection. The unshrouded design means the pins are exposed — no plastic wall around them. This makes the header footprint-friendly for tight layouts, but the mating receptacle must be keyed or polarized elsewhere in the system to prevent misalignment. The push-pull fastening type means no latch; retention relies on the friction of the receptacle's contacts. The black UL94 V-0 housing meets the flammability rating required for equipment inside an enclosure.
