Product Introduction
The Amphenol FCI 86837-106HLF is a 6-circuit dual-row unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series, on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch that defines this class of board-to-board interconnect. Typical applications include signal-level board-to-board connections where a low-profile, unshrouded header mates with a matching receptacle or female socket strip — common in industrial control, test equipment, and embedded systems.
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and dual-row layout with 0.100" (2.54 mm) row spacing define the board footprint. The overall contact length of 0.600" (15.24 mm) with a 0.120" (3.05 mm) solder post sets the board standoff and through-hole depth.
Comparison Within the Series
The 86837-106HLF is the 6-position member of the BERGSTIK® II dual-row unshrouded header family. Against the 10-position 86837-110HLF, the decision is purely positional — same 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, same 5 A rating, same 30 µ" gold plating. The 6-position version fits a 6-circuit BOM line; the 10-position fills a 10-circuit footprint. No other functional difference separates them.
This unshrouded header mates with any standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch female socket strip or IDC receptacle that accepts 0.025" square pins — a wide compatibility range across the BergStik ecosystem. Termination is through-hole solder; the 0.120" (3.05 mm) post length suits standard PCB thicknesses in the 0.062" to 0.093" range. All 6 positions are loaded, so no depopulation to account for.
