The 86840-468HLF is a 68-position, dual-row unshrouded header from the FCI BERGSTIK® II series, designed for board-to-board interconnect applications. It uses a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch on both the mating interface and the row spacing, which is a standard footprint for many legacy and current PCB layouts. The header is through-hole mounted with a right-angle orientation, making it suitable for board-edge connections where the cable or mating board runs parallel to the PCB. Each male pin contact is rated for 5 A at 110 V, with a tin plating on the mating surface that is 100.0 µin thick. The tin finish is cost-effective for applications with a moderate number of mating cycles, such as internal board-to-board links in industrial control or computing equipment. The housing is rated UL94 V-0, which is a standard requirement for components used within enclosed electronic assemblies.
Mating and Termination
As an unshrouded header, this part mates with a standard 0.100" pitch dual-row receptacle or socket connector. The push-pull fastening type means retention relies on the friction of the pin-to-socket interface, not a locking latch. The right-angle solder tails are 0.230" (5.84mm) long, designed for through-hole soldering to the PCB. All 68 positions are loaded, so the circuit count matches the BOM line directly.
