The Amphenol FCI 68705-433HLF is a 33-position unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK II series, on a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It is a through-hole solder-terminated board-to-board interconnect, with all 33 positions loaded. The tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts are rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V, and the black UL94 V-0 housing provides the flammability rating required for most commercial and industrial equipment enclosures.
What the Ratings Mean for the Fit
The 0.100" pitch is the industry-standard grid for 2.54 mm prototyping and production boards — the footprint is straightforward, but the 33-position count is the first check against your BOM circuit count. The 5 A per contact rating is typical for signal and moderate power duty; the limiting factor for sustained current is the temperature rise in the unshrouded housing, not the contact itself. The 100.0 µ" tin plating on the mating surface is thick enough for a few dozen mating cycles, but if your application requires frequent connect/disconnect or operates in a corrosive environment, a gold-plated sibling from the same series would be the better call.
Sourcing and Lifecycle
The 68705-433HLF carries an Active lifecycle status from Amphenol FCI — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy clock. No official cross-reference or direct replacement is on record, so confirm the 33-position count and 0.100" pitch match your board layout before specifying.
