The 77315-824-16LF: With 16 positions loaded in a single row, the header spans about 1.6 inches of board edge — a compact footprint for signal-level interconnects where density matters less than ease of hand-soldering or rework.
3 A per Contact with Gold Plating — When It Matters
The 15 µinch gold on the mating face is the standard thickness for moderate-cycle applications — about 500 mating cycles minimum before the gold wears through to the nickel underlayer, which is fine for field-service or test-fixture use where the connector is cycled a few times per year.
BERGSTIK Series and Breakaway Flexibility
Part of the BERGSTIK® series, this unshrouded header uses a breakaway design — the 16-position strip can be snapped to shorter lengths for non-standard circuit counts, though the factory-loaded 16 pins are all present.
