The Amphenol 75844-118-06LF is a 6-position, dual-row unshrouded breakaway header from the BERGSTIK series, built on the industry-standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. It uses square male pins with a gold GXT mating finish at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness — a plating grade that handles repeated mating cycles without the contact resistance drift you see from thinner gold or tin. The through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening make it a straightforward fit for a standard 0.100" grid PCB footprint, and the UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing keeps it clean for equipment inside an enclosure. Rated 5A per contact at 110V, with an operating range from -65°C up to 130°C, this header is a general-purpose board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnect for signal and moderate power duty.
The 0.100" pitch and 0.100" row spacing define the board footprint — it drops into a standard 0.100" × 0.100" grid, which means your PCB layout matches a wide range of DIP-style patterns and mating receptacles. The 6 positions are fully loaded across two rows (3 per row), so the BOM circuit count must match exactly; breakaway headers let you snap to a smaller size, but this variant ships as a 6-position part. The 5A per-contact rating at 110V is typical for signal-level interconnects — the real current limit is the temperature rise through the housing, so stay under 5A per pin in a still-air cabinet.
