The Amphenol FCI 86832-428HLF is a 28-circuit dual-row unshrouded male header from the BERGSTIK® II series, built on the industry-standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It carries 5 A per contact at 110 V, with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts on both the mating and termination sides. The through-hole solder tails and UL94 V-0 black housing make it a straightforward fit for general-purpose board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnects where the mating receptacle is aligned manually — no shroud or keying to guide the pair together.
What the ratings mean for your fit
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch matches standard perf-board and breadboard layouts — the footprint is a known quantity for any PCB designer. 28 positions in a 2×14 arrangement means the board footprint needs two rows of 14 through-holes at the same pitch, with a row-to-row spacing of 0.100" (2.54 mm). The 5 A per-contact rating is typical for a tin-plated square pin at this pitch; the limiting factor is the temperature rise in the housing, not the contact itself. At 110 V, the creepage distance across the unshrouded pins is adequate for low-voltage DC or AC signal and power circuits — but for higher-voltage applications, a shrouded header with polarisation would be the safer call. The tin mating finish is cost-effective for applications with a limited number of mate/unmate cycles — think a single install-and-forget in a consumer or industrial assembly. If the design calls for frequent reconnection or a corrosive environment, a gold-plated variant in the same BERGSTIK II family would offer better cycle life. The UL94 V-0 rating on the housing confirms the header meets the flammability standard for equipment inside an enclosure.
