Board-to-Board Header, 34 Positions, Breakaway Style
Termination is surface mount, so this header reflows with the board in a single pass. No through-hole solder tails to hand-solder or wave-solder — the SMT pads are on the bottom side only.
Mating contact finish is gold GXT at 15.0 µinch (0.38 µm) minimum — a hard gold alloy that handles 200+ mating cycles without exposing the phosphor bronze base metal. The tin-lead solder tails are a one-time joint — rework is possible but the post finish is not designed for multiple reflow cycles.
Sourcing and Lifecycle — Obsolete Status
The BERGSTIK series continues in production with other position counts and plating options, but this exact 34-position, SMT, gold GXT variant is discontinued.
Contact base metal is phosphor bronze — good spring properties for the breakaway retention beams, though the primary retention comes from the SMT solder joint, not the contacts themselves.
