The Amphenol 68438-108HLF is an 8-position, dual-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for board-to-board interconnect. It uses a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch on both rows and contacts, matching the standard footprint for legacy through-hole designs. Rated at 5 A per contact with a 110 V voltage rating, it suits signal-level duty in low-to-moderate current applications. The mating contacts carry a gold or GXT™ finish at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) thickness, providing reliable corrosion resistance and a solid mating cycle life for the class.
The housing is rated UL94 V-0, meeting the flammability requirement for equipment inside an enclosure. The unshrouded design exposes the square male pins, so the mating receptacle must provide the polarization and strain relief — typical for a board-to-board or wire-to-board interface where the header is the fixed half. The 0.225" (5.72mm) solder post length suits standard through-hole boards; the 0.230" (5.84mm) mating pin length engages with a standard BERGSTIK II receptacle.
