The Amphenol 75844-305-14LF is a 14-position unshrouded breakaway header from the BERGSTIK® series, built on the industry-standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This is a dual-row through-hole male pin header with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts — a workhorse part for board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnects where you need a reliable, solderable pin strip. The breakaway design means the strip can be snapped to a custom pin count if the full 14 positions aren't needed, though this one ships fully loaded. The unshrouded profile keeps the board footprint compact and gives you access to the pins for probing or rework, but it also means there's no polarization key — the mating half must be a matching unshrouded receptacle. Rated at 5 A per contact with a 110 V voltage limit, this header handles typical signal-level power and low-current distribution in control boards, industrial I/O, and test equipment. The 150 µ" tin plating on the mating surface is a heavy tin deposit — good for moderate mating cycles (50-100 mates) in clean, dry environments. Tin is a cost-effective choice over gold when the connector won't see frequent disconnection or corrosive atmospheres. The operating temperature range of -65°C to 130°C covers most industrial cabinet and automotive interior applications, though the tin plating will oxidize faster at sustained high temperatures above 105°C. The UL94 V-0 rated black thermoplastic housing meets the flame retardancy requirement for equipment inside an enclosure.
Within the BERGSTIK series, the 14-position 75844-305-14LF sits alongside the 10-position 75844-305-10LF (same 0.100" pitch, same 5 A rating, same dual-row unshrouded construction). The difference is purely the position count — 14 circuits vs 10 circuits — which drives the board footprint length. Both use the same 0.100" row spacing, so the board layout width is identical; the extra four positions add 0.400" (10.16 mm) to the header length. Pick the 14-position when your BOM calls for 14 signal lines; the 10-position is the right call for a 10-circuit harness.
