90-Position Board-to-Board Header at 1.27 mm Pitch
The 87409-145LF is a 90-position, 2-row, shrouded 4-wall header from the Rib-Cage™ III series by Amphenol ICC (FCI).
Within the same Rib-Cage™ III series, the 87409-145LF (90 positions) sits between the 87409-140LF (80 positions) and the 87409-150LF (100 positions). For a BOM requiring 90 signal lines, the 87409-145LF is the exact fit; the 80-position version leaves lines unconnected, while the 100-position version adds unused pins.
Surface-Mount Termination and Board Layout
The header terminates via surface-mount solder tails, with tin-plated posts (100 µinch thickness) for reliable solder joint formation. The 1.27 mm pitch and 0.050" row spacing demand a precise PCB footprint — the 90 pins occupy a 45-pin-per-row layout, and the 6.42 mm stack height sets the z-height budget for the mezzanine gap.
