The Amphenol FCI 68695-118HLF is an 18-position, dual-row BERGSTIK® II unshrouded header, built for board-to-board interconnect duty. At a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with matching 0.100" row spacing, it follows the standard 0.100" grid that dominates through-hole PCB layouts. Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, with 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold or GXT™ finish on the mating surface, this header is specced for repeated mating cycles and moderate signal or power distribution. The phosphor bronze contacts resist stress relaxation under repeated insertion, and the UL94 V-0 black housing handles the flammability requirements of equipment inside an enclosure.
Footprint and mating fit
The 0.100" pitch and row spacing mean the PCB footprint is a standard 0.100" grid — 0.090" (2.29 mm) post length below the board for solder-through. The unshrouded design exposes the full pin length, so the mating receptacle needs its own alignment features; a shrouded header on the opposite board is common in this pairing to protect the pins during blind mating.
