The Amphenol FCI 68705-422HLF is a 22-position, single-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK II series. It uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, and tin-plated phosphor bronze male pins. Rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V, it is a standard-density board-to-board interconnect for signal-level duty in low-vibration, indoor environments. The unshrouded push-pull design means no polarization keying — the mating receptacle must be aligned by the board layout or a separate alignment feature.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the industry-standard 0.1-inch grid — it matches the vast majority of prototyping boards, perfboards, and legacy footprint layouts. The 22 positions are fully loaded, so the BOM line count must match exactly. The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for signal-level interconnects; at this pitch and with tin plating, the practical limit for continuous power delivery is lower than the rating suggests due to temperature rise in a dense harness. Tin-plated contacts are cost-effective for applications with fewer than 50 mating cycles in a clean, indoor environment — they are not suited for frequent field servicing or corrosive atmospheres.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The 68705-422HLF carries an Active lifecycle status per the manufacturer — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy window. No official cross-reference or successor is on record.
