The Amphenol FCI 68498-236HLF is a 36-position unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK II series, on the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Gold or Gold, GXT™ plating at 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the mating surface handles repeated connect-disconnect cycles in environments where tin would fret.
The 5A per-circuit rating is signal-level current — this header is sized for logic-level power and I/O lines, not a main DC rail. The 0.100" pitch gives enough room for routing traces between pads on a standard 2-layer board without necking the track width.
No official cross-reference or direct replacement is on record from Amphenol FCI, so the BOM line should stay on this order code unless a pin-compatible alternative is verified against the 0.100" pitch and 36-position footprint.
