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.
