The Amphenol BERGSTIK® II 87900-108HLF is an 8-position, dual-row, unshrouded male pin header on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It is a through-hole solder-terminated board-to-board interconnect, loaded in all 8 positions. The 30.0 µ" gold or gold GXT™ plating on the mating surface gives it a high cycle-life rating — suited for applications where the connector sees repeated mating and unmating over its service life, such as test fixtures, programming jigs, or modular card-edge connections.
Key specs and what they mean for the build
Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, with the current capacity typical for a 0.100" pitch header — enough for moderate power distribution on a PCB or signal-level duty with headroom. The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and 0.100" row spacing match standard perfboard and breadboard layouts, so the footprint is a drop-in for prototype-to-production transitions. The unshrouded design means there is no polarization key — the mating receptacle provides the alignment, so the header itself is a low-cost, high-density pin field. The UL94 V-0 rated black insulation handles the flammability requirement for equipment inside an enclosure.
Mating and sourcing
This header mates with any standard 0.100" pitch, dual-row, unshrouded female socket strip — the BERGSTIK II series receptacle housings or generic IDC socket connectors with the same pitch and row spacing. The 0.720" (18.29 mm) mating pin length gives good wipe length for reliable contact. The overall contact length of 0.940" (23.88 mm) and a post length of 0.120" (3.05 mm) define the board-to-board stack height — the mating receptacle's insulation height determines the final mated height above the PCB.
