It uses the standard 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch on both rows and the row spacing, making it a drop-in fit for legacy 0.100\" grid board layouts. The through-hole right-angle orientation places the pins parallel to the PCB, which is common for board-edge or mezzanine connections where the header sits at the edge of the board. Rated at 5A per contact and 110V, this header is suited for signal-level interconnect, not high-current bus or mains power. The tin plating on both the mating surface and the solder tails keeps cost low, but the tin-on-tin interface means the connector is best for applications with infrequent mating cycles — think a permanent board-to-board link inside a chassis rather than a field-service disconnect that sees dozens of cycles. The housing is rated UL94 V-0, which is the standard flame-retardant grade for equipment inside an enclosure. All 24 positions are loaded — no empty spots to account for. ## What the key ratings mean for the fit The 0.100\" pitch drives the board footprint: each pin lands on a 2.54mm grid, so the PCB layout must match that spacing. The 0.318\" mating pin length gives enough reach to mate with standard 0.100\" pitch socket strips; the 0.110\" solder tail length is typical for a 1.6mm-thick board with through-hole soldering. The 5A rating is per contact at ambient — derate if the board runs hot or if multiple adjacent pins carry current simultaneously. The tin mating finish, at 100 microinches thick, is robust for a few dozen cycles but will wear faster than gold under repeated mating. If the application calls for frequent board swaps, a gold-plated sibling in the BERGSTIK II family would hold up longer. Right-angle through-hole mounting means the header stands up from the board at a 90-degree angle. The 0.240\" insulation height above the board surface gives clearance for components underneath the header body, but check the keep-out zone on the board — the unshrouded pins are exposed and can short against a metal enclosure or adjacent board if not accounted for. ## Sourcing and lifecycle The base product number 68022 covers the dual-row, right-angle, unshrouded BERGSTIK II family. The -424HLF suffix encodes 24 positions, tin plating, and specific pin lengths.","metaTitle":"FCI 68022-424HLF BERGSTIK II Header, 24 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"FCI 68022-424HLF BERGSTIK® II unshrouded header, 24 positions, 0.100\" pitch, through-hole right-angle, tin plating, 5A, 110V, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol ICC (FCI)","Style":"Board to Board","Series":"BERGSTIK® II","Package":"Bag","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Unshrouded","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Push-Pull","Number of Rows":"2","Pitch - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"110V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.240\\\" (6.10mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"68022","Insulation Material":"-","Number of Positions":"24","Row Spacing - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.110\\\" (2.79mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"5A","Operating Temperature":"-","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.318\\\" (8.08mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"100.0µin (2.54µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.2600","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/f07eb009696ffe298bd4359a478f2e44.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/68022-424HLF/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does 68022-424HLF have gold plating?","answer":"No. The mating contact finish is tin, not gold.
