Product details

BERGSTIK II Unshrouded Header: 18 Circuits at 0.100" Pitch

The 68693-118HLF: Gold at this thickness supports 500+ mating cycles without exposing the base metal — a good fit for test fixtures, programming jigs, or any interconnect that sees repeated connect-disconnect in a clean environment.

Current, Temperature, and Material Limits

The 3 A rating is per contact at ambient — derate above 25 °C per the BERGSTIK II curve in the product drawing. The phosphor bronze contact spring maintains its normal force across the full -65°C to 130°C operating range. UL94 V-0 black thermoplastic housing means the header can be used inside equipment enclosures where flame rating is required.
