Board-to-Board Header for Standard 0.100" Footprints
The Amphenol BERGSTIK II 86837-418HLF is an 18-position, dual-row, unshrouded through-hole header on 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — the standard DIP/IC footprint that fits any board laid out for 0.100" headers. UL94 V-0 rated black insulator.
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the key dimension — it matches the industry-standard 0.100" header footprint used on prototyping boards, Arduino shields, and countless production PCBs. The 18 positions, loaded all, mean the BOM line count must match exactly; a 16- or 20-position sibling won't fit the same footprint without layout changes. The 0.380" (9.65mm) mating pin length gives enough reach to pass through a 0.062" board and still engage a receptacle fully.
The through-hole solder termination suits wave-solder or hand-solder assembly.
