The header is rated 5A per contact at 110V, with gold GXT™ plating on the mating surface at 30.0µin (0.76µm) — a plating grade that handles repeated mating cycles and resists corrosion better than tin in unsealed environments. The push-pull fastening type and the absence of a locking latch make this a general-purpose interconnect for internal board-to-board or board-to-cable connections where vibration is not extreme. Termination is listed as press-fit or solder — the press-fit option allows solderless assembly into plated through-holes, which is useful for backplane applications where rework or high-reliability connections are needed. The contact length on the post side is 0.177" (4.50mm), and the overall contact length is 0.505" (12.83mm).
Within the BERGSTIK® breakaway family, the 93690-103-50LF sits at the 50-position, 2-row configuration. A common alternative is the 40-position version (93690-102-40LF) at the same 0.100" pitch and 5A rating — the choice comes down to the circuit count on the BOM. Both use the same gold GXT™ plating and press-fit/solder termination options, so the footprint and mating half are identical; the only decision is whether the board needs 40 or 50 circuits.
