The Amphenol BERGSTIK 75160-196-08LF is an 8-position single-row unshrouded male header on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This is the workhorse through-hole pin strip — unshrouded, push-pull retention, no locking or keying features. The contacts are phosphor bronze with 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) of gold GXT plating on the mating surface, rated for 5 A per circuit at 110 V.
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the de facto standard for prototype boards and legacy designs — it matches the vast majority of 0.1-inch perfboard and stripboard layouts.
Compatibility Check
This header mates with any standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch single-row female socket housing that accepts 0.025" square pins — the BERGSTIK series is form-fit-function interchangeable with other industry-standard 0.1-inch breakaway headers. The through-hole solder tails measure 0.135" (3.43 mm) long, which suits standard 1.6 mm PCBs. The overall contact length of 0.465" (11.81 mm) and mating length of 0.230" (5.84 mm) are typical for a low-profile board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnect.
