The Amphenol BERGSTIK 75844-102-08LF is an 8-position, dual-row male pin header from the BERGSTIK® series, a workhorse breakaway design for board-to-board and cable interconnect. The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch matches the standard grid for prototyping and production layouts, and the breakaway construction lets you snap the strip to the exact position count your BOM calls for — here it ships as a full 8-position loaded block. Gold GXT™ plating on the mating surface (30.0 µin) gives the contacts a corrosion-resistant, low-insertion-force finish suited for repeated mating cycles in controlled environments.
Ratings and deployment context
Rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V, the current capacity is typical for signal-level interconnects on this pitch — the limiting factor is the temperature rise through the thermoplastic housing, not the phosphor bronze contact itself. The UL94 V-0 insulation material and -65°C to 130°C operating range cover industrial cabinet and telecom equipment environments where flame rating and thermal cycling are specified. The unshrouded push-pull fastening means the header relies on the mating receptacle's retention features; it is a straight through-hole solder termination, so the board footprint is a standard 0.100" grid with 0.100" row spacing.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The 75844-102-08LF carries an Active lifecycle status from Amphenol — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy window. No official cross-reference or direct equivalent is on record, so confirm the BOM position count and the mating half before committing.
