Product details

The Amphenol FCI 87900-172HLF is a 72-position unshrouded header in the BergStik II series, arranged as 2 rows of 36 on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch grid.

The 0.100" pitch and 0.100" row spacing put this on the legacy through-hole grid — the footprint is a straightforward 2×36 array of 0.025" square pins. The overall contact length of 0.940" with a 0.720" mating length means the header stands well off the board; the post length of 0.120" is short, so the solder tail barely protrudes below the PCB. That 0.120" post is worth checking against your board thickness — on a 0.062" board you get about 0.058" of exposed tail for the solder fillet, which is adequate for wave solder but leaves little margin for a thick board. The current ceiling is set by the 0.100" pitch and the phosphor bronze contact material — the 30.0 µin gold plating doesn't limit current, but the narrow pin cross-section and the housing's UL94 V-0 material's temperature rise curve do. For a 72-position header, the practical limit is the total current through the common plane, not any single pin. The voltage rating of 110 V is conservative for the 0.100" air gap between unshrouded pins in a typical indoor environment.

For vibration-prone assemblies, consider a shrouded header or a separate locking latch.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 87900-172HLF discontinued or obsolete?

The 87900-172HLF carries an Active lifecycle status per the manufacturer — full production, no end-of-life notice.

What is the pitch of the 87900-172HLF?

The pitch is 0.100" (2.54 mm) on both the pin-to-pin spacing and the row-to-row spacing, matching the standard legacy through-hole grid.

What is the current rating of the 87900-172HLF?

Rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V. The 30.0 µin gold plating supports repeated mating, but the current ceiling keeps this in signal/interconnect duty.
