The 68405-122HLF is an Amphenol ICC (FCI) BergStik® II unshrouded header, a 22-position, dual-row male pin header on the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Rated 5 A per contact with 30.0 µ" (0.76 µm) gold plating on the mating surface, the contact finish is the real selection driver here — the 30 µ" gold layer supports repeated mating cycles and resists corrosion in environments where tin contacts would fret. The phosphor bronze base material provides good spring properties for the square pin geometry.
Right-Angle Through-Hole Termination
The right-angle through-hole termination gives this header a low profile parallel to the board. The post length is 0.095" (2.41mm) — standard for a 1.6mm PCB thickness. The 0.190" (4.83mm) insulation height is the standoff from the board surface to the bottom of the header body. For the board layout engineer, the dual-row footprint with 0.100" row spacing means the through-holes fall on a 2.54mm grid, which is a common footprint that matches standard BergStik II socket strips.
