The FCI 68705-417HLF is a 17-position unshrouded male pin header from the BergStik® II series, built for board-to-board stacking or wire-to-board duty when mated with a standard 2.54mm female receptacle. It's a single-row, through-hole part with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — the classic DIP footprint spacing that keeps board layout simple. The mating pins are tin-plated over phosphor bronze, with a thick 100.0µin (2.54µm) finish on the contact surface, rated for 5A per circuit at 110V.
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the standard 0.1-inch grid — it drops into a perfboard or a PCB laid out for DIP packages without a custom footprint. The 5A per-circuit rating is typical for a tin-plated signal header; it's enough for logic-level power or low-current signal distribution, but the thick tin finish (100.0µin) is the real story here. The unshrouded design means no keying or polarisation: the header is a bare pin strip, so it mates with any standard 2.54mm female receptacle housing that accepts the 0.025" square pins. The 0.200" (5.08mm) mating pin length gives enough reach for a standard box-header receptacle or a low-profile socket strip.
