Why the 11-Pin Count Matters in a Single-Row Header
The 77311-801-11LF is an 11-position, single-row BERGSTIK header from Amphenol ICC (FCI). The odd pin count is deliberate — it fits BOM positions that call for exactly 11 circuits without the wasted board area of a dual-row footprint.
Contact Plating and Current Rating — Signal Duty, Not Power Bus
At 3 A per pin in an 11-position header, the total current through the connector is 33 A if all pins are loaded simultaneously — but the derating curve (not provided here) would reduce that at elevated ambient temperatures.
