The FCI BERGSTIK® II 86832-418HLF is an 18-position, dual-row unshrouded male pin header on a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch — the same spacing used across the 0.100" grid for legacy and current board layouts. It sits in the BERGSTIK II series as a through-hole, solder-termination header with all 18 positions loaded. Typical use is as a board-to-board interconnect where a low-cost, unshrouded header mates with a matching receptacle or IDC connector on the same pitch.
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and 0.100" row spacing put this on the classic 0.100" x 0.100" grid — footprint-compatible with most standard 0.100" pitch receptacles and IDC sockets. That thick tin layer gives decent corrosion resistance for indoor, low-mating-cycle applications — think once-and-done board assembly, not field-service connectors that get cycled repeatedly. The 110 V voltage rating and 5 A per contact current are the limits for the mated pair under normal conditions — derate if ambient temperature exceeds the unspecified operating range.
Phosphor bronze contact material with square cross-section pins — the square profile gives four-point contact in a standard square-pin receptacle. Through-hole solder termination with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) post length, so it suits standard 0.062" (1.6 mm) PCBs. The overall contact length is 0.525" (13.34 mm), with a mating length of 0.325" (8.26 mm) — enough to fully engage a standard 0.100" pitch receptacle.
