Board-to-Board Header, 72 Positions, 0.100" Pitch
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch on two rows, with the same 0.100" row spacing, gives a standard footprint that matches legacy 0.100" grid layouts — no board redesign needed for a 72-way signal or power bus. Tin-on-tin contacts (mating and post) carry 5 A per contact, with the 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) tin mating finish providing adequate cycle life for low-to-moderate mating counts in controlled environments.
The 0.100" pitch is the board footprint anchor — every plated through-hole lands on a 0.100" grid, which is the de facto standard for 0.025" square pins. The tin mating finish is the cost-optimised choice for fewer than 50 mating cycles in a dry indoor environment — switch to a gold-plated sibling if the application sees repeated field service or corrosive atmospheres.
Right-angle through-hole termination: the 0.230" (5.84 mm) mating pin length engages a standard receptacle, while the 0.125" (3.18 mm) solder post protrudes below the board for wave or hand soldering.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life notice, full production. RoHS compliance is standard for the BERGSTIK II series; confirm with the manufacturer's compliance documentation for the specific date code.
