The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68695-172HLF is a 72-position, dual-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series, built for board-to-board interconnect on a standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. It carries male square pins with a 0.230" (5.84mm) mating length and a 0.090" (2.29mm) solder post, terminated through-hole at a right angle — a layout choice for board-edge or parallel-to-PCB mating in space-constrained enclosures. Rated 5A per contact at 110V, with a UL94 V-0 black insulation housing, this header suits signal and low-power distribution in industrial control, telecom, and computing equipment where the standard 2.54mm grid keeps board routing simple.
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing put this on the industry-standard grid — no special footprint or routing rules, just a standard through-hole pattern that matches most prototyping and production board layouts. The 72 positions, all loaded, mean the BOM line count is fixed: if your circuit count is 72, this is a direct fit; if it's lower, you leave pins unpopulated on the board.
