The Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK II 68405-116HLF is a 16-position, dual-row, unshrouded male header with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch — the classic breadboard-compatible footprint. The 5 A per circuit rating and 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold-on-phosphor-bronze contacts suit signal-level duty and repeated mating cycles without contact fretting. The black UL94 V-0 nylon housing handles the flame-rating requirements of equipment inside an enclosure.
The 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch and 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) row spacing define the board footprint exactly — any mating receptacle or IDC cable assembly must share this grid. The 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold on the mating surface, not the headline 5 A rating, is the real duty signal: it supports hundreds of mate-unmate cycles in field-service or test applications without the contact resistance drift you get from tin. The right-angle orientation means the header body sits 0.190 inches (4.83 mm) above the board, and the 0.230-inch (5.84 mm) mating pin length gives the receptacle enough wipe distance for reliable contact.
