Product Introduction
The FCI / Amphenol 68653-415HLF is a 15-position unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK® II series, on the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. It is a single-row, through-hole solder termination board-to-board interconnect with push-pull fastening — no locking latch, intended for internal PCB stacking or wire-to-board via a mating receptacle. The housing is black UL94 V-0 rated, and both the mating and post contacts are finished in tin, with a heavy 100.0µin (2.54µm) plating thickness on the mating surface.
What the Key Ratings Mean for Fit
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the classic breadboard-compatible spacing — it drops into a standard 0.100" grid footprint without needing a custom pad layout. At 5A per contact, this header carries moderate power or signal duty; the 110V voltage rating is typical for this pitch class. The tin finish on both mating and post sides means this is a cost-optimized part for moderate mating cycle counts — not for frequent disconnect or corrosive environments where gold would be specified. The 100.0µin tin thickness on the mating surface is heavier than typical flash tin, giving better wear-through resistance for its class.
