The FCI Amphenol 68697-446HLF is a BERGSTIK II series unshrouded header, a through-hole right-angle male pin connector with 46 positions arranged in two rows on a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It is designed for board-to-board stacking or wire-to-board interconnect where a low-profile, solder-terminated header is needed, typically inside enclosures where the mating cable exits parallel to the PCB. The push-pull fastening and unshrouded profile keep the mated stack height low, while the UL94 V-0 rated housing meets the flame requirement for equipment inside an enclosure. Rated 5 A per contact at the stated voltage of 110 V, the current limit is the temperature rise in the housing at full load — every amp makes heat, and at 46 positions fully loaded the derating curve matters more than the headline number. The tin-on-tin contact finish (100.0 µin on the mating side, tin on the post) is cost-effective for low-cycle-count applications where the connector is mated a handful of times over its life; for frequent reconnection, a gold-plated sibling from the same series would be the better choice.
The right-angle through-hole mounting places the pin rows parallel to the board surface, which suits board-edge I/O where the mating receptacle exits sideways rather than vertically. The 0.125" (3.18 mm) solder post length is sized for standard PCB thicknesses; the 0.190" (4.83 mm) insulation height above the board leaves clearance for trace routing under the connector body.
