The FCI 95687-442HLF is a 42-position unshrouded male pin header from the BergStik® II series, arranged in two rows on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It is a board-to-board interconnect, typically used as the plug half that mates with a BergStik II receptacle or an IDC socket for mezzanine stacking or wire-to-board harnesses. The unshrouded push-pull fastening and through-hole solder termination make this a straightforward footprint for a 0.100" grid layout.
The 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) tin plating on the mating surface is notably thick — standard tin flash is around 40–80 µin — which gives this header better durability across repeated mating cycles than a thin tin finish, though it still falls short of gold for high-cycle or corrosive environments. The insulation height is 0.100" (2.54 mm), which means the mated stack height with a standard BergStik receptacle will be roughly 0.500" (12.7 mm) — confirm against your board-to-board spacing budget.
The 0.360" (9.14 mm) solder tail is sized for a 0.062" (1.6 mm) typical PCB thickness — the pin protrudes through the board for a clean through-hole solder joint. All 42 positions are loaded; no selective loading on this variant.
