The Amphenol FCI 68705-418HLF is an 18-position, single-row, unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK® II series. It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, making it footprint-compatible with legacy and current board-to-board layouts. The through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening suit it for permanent board-stacking or wire-to-board interconnect where the mating half is a matching receptacle. Contacts are phosphor bronze with a tin mating finish rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V. The tin plating is suited for moderate mating-cycle duty — the 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) thickness provides good wear resistance for periodic board swaps but is not intended for frequent field-service reconnection. The black UL94 V-0 housing meets the flame-rating requirement for equipment inside an enclosure. The 0.200" (5.08 mm) mating pin length gives adequate wipe for a standard receptacle; the 0.095" (2.41 mm) solder post length suits typical 1.6 mm thick PCBs. Overall contact length is 0.395" (10.03 mm). All 18 positions are loaded — no optional empty slots to manage on the BOM.
