The Amphenol FCI 93690-101-72LF is a 72-position, 2-row breakaway header in the BERGSTIK series. It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch on both the pin-to-pin and row spacing, which matches legacy DIP footprints and common prototyping grids. The 30.0 µin gold GXT plating on the mating surface provides a corrosion-resistant, high-cycle-life interface, while the tin-plated posts (39.4 µin) suit conventional wave-solder or press-fit assembly.
Termination and board layout
Termination is listed as press-fit and solder — the 0.177" (4.50 mm) post length gives enough tail for either a press-fit compliant-pin interface or a through-hole solder joint. The overall contact length of 0.582" (14.78 mm) and a mating length of 0.295" (7.49 mm) set the stack-up height when mated with a standard BERGSTIK receptacle. For a board-layout engineer, the 0.100" row spacing and 2-row footprint are the critical dimensions — confirm the plated-through-hole diameter against the square post cross-section before committing the PCB.
