The Amphenol FCI 86840-462HLF is a 62-position, dual-row BERGSTIK II unshrouded header on a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch grid. It's a through-hole, right-angle board-to-board interconnect with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V. The black UL94 V-0 housing and push-pull fastening make it a straightforward, no-frills choice for parallel PCB stacking or wire-to-board applications where the mating receptacle provides the polarization.
What the Key Ratings Mean for Your Fit
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the industry-standard grid — your board footprint is a straightforward drill pattern with 0.100" row spacing as well. The 62 positions are all loaded, so the BOM line matches pin-for-pin with the receptacle. The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for this pin size and tin-plating combination; it's adequate for signal-level and moderate power duty, but the tin finish limits mating cycle life compared to gold — expect reliable performance for a few dozen matings in a controlled environment. The unshrouded design means the header pins are exposed — there's no plastic shroud to guide the mating receptacle. This saves board space and cost, but requires careful alignment during assembly. The right-angle orientation places the pins parallel to the board, useful for edge-mount or mezzanine connections where the cable exits along the PCB.
