Product details

The Samtec 68498-136 is a 36-position single-row header from the BERGSTIK II series, built on the classic 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The 36-position count in a single row is longer than the typical 20- or 25-position single-row header, so the board footprint stretches about 3.6 inches across — plan the keep-out zone accordingly.

The 5 A per-circuit rating at 0.100" pitch is standard for signal-level power — the current limit comes from the pin density and the single-row layout, not the contact itself. For a 36-position header, that means the total current through the connector is limited by the sum of the active circuits; derate above 25 °C per the manufacturer's curve.

Where It Goes and How It Mounts

This is a board-to-board header — it mates with a matching 36-position receptacle (typically a Samtec BERGSTIK or equivalent socket strip) on the opposing board.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pinout of the Samtec 68498-136?

The 68498-136 is a single-row header with 36 positions, all loaded, on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. Pin 1 is typically marked by a square pad or a chamfer on the housing; the remaining pins follow sequentially down the row. The exact pinout depends on the PCB layout — the header itself is a straight pass-through.

What is the mating connector for the Samtec 68498-136?

The 68498-136 mates with a matching 36-position single-row receptacle socket strip, typically from the Samtec BERGSTIK or equivalent series, on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The unshrouded design means the receptacle must have the same position count and pitch to align the pins.

Is the Samtec 68498-136 RoHS compliant?

The 68498-136 is listed with a gold or GXT plating finish and a UL94 V-0 rated housing, consistent with RoHS-compliant materials. Specific RoHS certification documentation is available from the manufacturer or distributor upon request.
