The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch on both rows matches the standard 0.100" grid, so the footprint aligns with common perf-board layouts and legacy bus architectures. Rated 5A per contact at 110V, with 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on the mating surface — that plating thickness supports repeated mating cycles in environments where tin would fret or oxidize, such as industrial control cabinets or test equipment that gets reconfigured.
The 0.318" (8.08mm) mating pin length gives enough reach to engage standard box-type or friction-lock receptacles with a 0.230" to 0.290" insulation height. The post length is also 0.318" (8.08mm), which protrudes through a typical 0.062" board and leaves room for a solder fillet on the back side. This is common in BERGSTIK® II applications where the receptacle has its own shroud or where the header sits in a cutout that provides alignment. The 0.190" (4.83mm) insulation height is the distance from the board surface to the bottom of the pin shoulder, which sets the standoff for the mating connector.
