The Amphenol BERGSTIK® 75844-818-24LF is a 24-position, dual-row unshrouded breakaway header on a standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. It is a Board to Board or Cable style connector, meaning it can mate with a matching receptacle on another PCB or terminate to a cable assembly via a compatible IDC or crimp housing. The through-hole solder termination and square male pins make it a workhorse for prototyping, test fixtures, and low-to-mid volume production where a reliable, separable connection is needed.
The 0.100" pitch and 0.100" row spacing define a standard 0.1" grid footprint — a near-universal layout that fits breadboards, perfboards, and most PCB design rules without special keep-outs. Rated 5A per contact, but in a real board stack the unshrouded design limits practical per-pin current because adjacent pins share the same air gap without a shroud to channel airflow. For sustained loads above 3A per pin, consider derating or using every other pin for power. The 110V voltage rating covers typical low-voltage signal and power rails.
The base product number 75844 covers a family of breakaway headers, so if the 24-position variant is temporarily tight, a 20- or 30-position sibling on the same pitch may serve as a board-layout alternative if the circuit count allows.
