The Amphenol FCI BERGSTIK II 68697-460HLF is a 60-position, dual-row board-to-board header on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It is an unshrouded, right-angle through-hole mount male pin header with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated for 5 A per circuit at 110 V. The black UL94 V-0 rated housing and push-pull fastening make it a straightforward signal interconnect for parallel board stacking or edge-of-board connections in commercial electronics.
Board Layout and Fit
The 0.100" pitch and 0.100" row spacing define a standard 0.100" x 0.100" grid footprint — the same pattern used by legacy BergStik and similar pin header families. With 60 positions loaded across two rows, the header occupies 3.000" of board edge length. The right-angle orientation places the pin axis parallel to the PCB, which suits mezzanine or riser-card applications where the mating receptacle approaches from the board edge. The 0.230" mating pin length provides enough engagement depth for standard box or friction-lock receptacles.
Rating and Duty
The 5 A per contact rating with tin-plated mating surfaces is typical for signal-level interconnect — the current is limited by the contact resistance of the tin interface rather than the bulk conductor. The 110 V voltage rating reflects the creepage distance across the unshrouded header body at the 0.100" pitch. Tin plating is cost-effective for single-mate or low-cycle applications; for repeated mating cycles a gold-plated variant in the same series would be the better choice.
