The FCI 87916-412HLF is a 12-position, single-row, unshrouded header from the BERGSTIK® II series, designed for board-to-board stacking applications. It uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, which is the standard footprint for legacy and current PCB layouts, and mates with matching BERGSTIK II receptacle strips. The through-hole solder termination provides a reliable mechanical and electrical connection for the full 5 A per contact rating.
Key Specs and What They Mean for Your Fit
The 12 positions are fully loaded, so the BOM line count matches the circuit count directly. The 0.100" pitch is the standard 2.54 mm grid footprint. The 5 A per contact rating is typical for signal-level interconnects and low-power distribution. The tin-plated mating surface (100.0 µin / 2.54 µm) is suited for applications with a limited number of mating cycles — think one-time assembly or infrequent rework. For high-cycle or corrosive environments, a gold-plated variant in the same series would be the better call. The UL94 V-0 rated black housing meets the flame-retardancy requirement for equipment installed inside an enclosure.
