The Amphenol 87916-406HLF is a 6-position unshrouded single-row male header from the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for board-to-board interconnect applications. It uses a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — the standard footprint for legacy and new designs alike — and terminates through-hole with solder tails. The tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts are rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V, with a 0.830" mating contact length that gives good reach into a mating receptacle. The black UL94 V-0 polyamide housing suits equipment requiring a flame-rated enclosure.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the same as legacy 0.1-inch grid prototyping boards and standard IDC ribbon cable — the footprint is a known quantity for any board layout. The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for a signal/power header at this pitch; the limiting factor is the temperature rise in the housing, not the contact itself. Tin plating on both the mating and post sides is a cost-effective choice for moderate-duty applications where the mated pair stays assembled — tin is not rated for the high mating-cycle counts that gold plating handles, but for a permanent or semi-permanent board-to-board connection it is a reliable, economical finish.
