The Amphenol FCI 68405-432HLF is a 32-position dual-row unshrouded male header from the BERGSTIK II series, designed for board-to-board interconnect. It carries a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch on both the mating interface and row spacing, which matches the standard 0.100" grid common to prototyping and production PCBs. The right-angle through-hole termination places the pins parallel to the board surface, suited for edge-mount or mezzanine connections where the mating board sits at a right angle. Rated 5A per circuit at 110V, the tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts handle general-purpose signal and moderate power duty. The 100.0µin (2.54µm) tin finish on the mating surface is adequate for a limited number of mating cycles — typical for permanent or infrequent-disconnect assemblies. The UL94 V-0 black housing meets the flame rating required for equipment inside an enclosure.
Mounting and orientation
Right-angle through-hole mount with a 0.095" (2.41mm) post length for the solder tail and a 0.230" (5.84mm) mating pin length. The unshrouded design means there is no polarization key — the mating receptacle must be aligned by the board layout and the push-pull fastening relies on friction retention from the contact interface. The 0.190" (4.83mm) insulation height above the board provides clearance for trace routing under the header body.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The 68405-432HLF carries an Active lifecycle status from Amphenol FCI — no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window. No official replacement or cross-reference is on record — the BERGSTIK II series is a standard catalog line, so the 32-position right-angle variant is the direct fit for this BOM position.
