The Amphenol FCI 87916-415HLF is a 15-position, single-row male header from the BERGSTIK II series. It uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, and an unshrouded push-pull mating interface. Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts carry 5 A per circuit at 110 V. The black UL94 V-0 housing suits equipment inside an enclosure requiring flame-rated components. This is a board-to-board interconnect — typically used as the pin header half of a pin-and-socket pair on a PCB.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 0.100" pitch is the standard 2.54 mm grid — board footprint and routing density are well understood, and mating receptacles are widely available. The 5 A per-contact rating is signal-level current; the 100 µ" tin plating on the mating surface is adequate for occasional mating but will wear faster than gold under repeated connect-disconnect cycles. The 0.830" mating length gives a deep wipe for reliable contact, but the unshrouded design offers no keying or polarization — the mating receptacle must be aligned by the board layout or harness strain relief.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The 87916-415HLF carries an Active lifecycle status — no end-of-life notice on record. No official cross-reference or direct substitute is listed, so match the 15-position count and 0.100" pitch to your BOM line before committing.
