BERGSTIK II Header, 10-Position, Right-Angle Board-to-Board Interconnect
The Amphenol ICC 86840-410HLF is a 10-position, dual-row, unshrouded male pin header from the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for board-to-board interconnect applications. It uses a standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch on both rows and between rows, making it footprint-compatible with a wide range of existing PCB layouts and prototyping boards. The right-angle through-hole termination orients the connector parallel to the board edge, which suits space-constrained enclosures where the mating cable or board must exit sideways. Rated at 5 A per contact with a 110 V voltage rating, this header is suited for signal-level and moderate power distribution within an assembly. The tin-on-tin contact finish (100.0 µin on the mating side) is cost-effective for applications with low mating-cycle requirements — typical for semi-permanent board interconnects inside equipment. The UL94 V-0 rated black thermoplastic housing provides the flame resistance required for equipment inside an enclosure.
Position Count and Footprint Match
With 10 positions loaded across two rows, the 86840-410HLF matches BOM lines requiring a 10-circuit board-to-board header. The 0.100" pitch and 0.100" row spacing create a 2 x 5 grid that fits standard 0.100" prototyping grids and many existing PCB footprints. The unshrouded design means the mating receptacle (typically a BERGSTIK II socket or a standard 0.100" pitch female header) slides directly over the 0.318" long square pins.
Mating and Termination
This unshrouded header mates with any standard 0.100" pitch female socket or receptacle that accepts square pins — common choices include the BERGSTIK II socket series or generic dual-row box headers.
