36-Position BERGSTIK Unshrouded Header
The Amphenol 75160-106-36LF is a 36-position, single-row, unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK® series. It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and mates with matching 0.100" pitch receptacle housings or IDC sockets for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. The through-hole solder tails and push-pull fastening make it a straightforward fit for prototype builds and production boards alike.
Key Specs and What They Mean for the Build
The 36 positions are loaded fully, so every pin is present — match this count directly to your circuit count on the BOM. The 0.100" pitch is the classic DIP/IC footprint spacing, which keeps board layout straightforward and compatible with standard perfboard or prototyping grids. Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, this header handles moderate signal and low-power distribution duties. The 30.0 µin gold GXT™ plating on the mating surface is the real story here — that thickness supports repeated mating cycles without the fretting corrosion you'd see with tin plating on a connector that gets unmated more than a few times. The phosphor bronze contact material adds spring resilience. The UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing and -65°C to 130°C operating range mean it's rated for equipment inside enclosures where flame retardance is required, and for environments that see wide thermal swings — think industrial control cabinets or outdoor telecom gear that cycles through winter nights.
