The Amphenol ICC 68697-424HLF is a 24-position, dual-row BERGSTIK® II unshrouded header on a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It's a board-to-board interconnect, terminated through-hole with a right-angle orientation — the pins sit parallel to the PCB plane, which suits board-edge or mezzanine layouts where the connector exits the board edge. All 24 positions are loaded, so the circuit count matches the BOM line one-to-one. Tin-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts keep the cost down for moderate-duty signal and power applications; the 5 A per-contact rating gives headroom for a mix of signal and low-current power lines. The black UL94 V-0-rated housing meets the flame requirement for equipment inside an enclosure.
What the ratings mean for the fit
The 0.100" pitch is the baseline for a wide range of standard female receptacles and IDC connectors — it's a commodity footprint that routes easily on two-layer boards. The 5 A per-contact rating is typical for a tin-plated square pin at this pitch; tin contacts are good for a few dozen mating cycles, so this header is best suited for semi-permanent board interconnects or harnesses that don't see frequent field disconnect. The right-angle orientation means the header takes up board-edge real estate; the unshrouded design leaves the pins exposed, so the mating receptacle needs to align squarely — no keying or polarization to prevent a partial mate.
