The Amphenol FCI 86832-162HLF is a 62-position, dual-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series, on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It is a through-hole, male-pin board-to-board interconnect with push-pull fastening, designed for signal-level duty where the board layout and mating receptacle handle polarization. Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, the 86832-162HLF carries a 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold or Gold GXT™ plating on the mating surface — a mid-grade finish that supports repeated mating cycles in production environments without the cost of heavy gold. The phosphor bronze contact material and UL94 V-0 black housing round out a standard signal-grade interconnect package.
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the legacy breadboard-compatible grid — the board footprint matches decades of standard 0.100" receptacles and prototyping boards. The 62 positions across two rows means a 31-position-per-row footprint that occupies about 3.1" of board edge per row, so the board real estate, not the connector body, is the constraint. This is a deliberate choice for applications where the header sits on a fixed board and the cable assembly provides the locking mechanism. The 0.325" (8.26 mm) mating pin length gives enough engagement depth for standard 0.100" pitch receptacles. The tin-free mating surface also avoids fretting corrosion in moderate-vibration applications where the mated pair stays static.
