The 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch on two rows matches standard DIP spacing, so the board footprint is predictable and routing-dense — no special keep-out zones for the signal traces between pads. With all 40 positions loaded, this is a full-population header; the circuit count on the BOM must match exactly. Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, the current capacity is signal-level — suited for logic, data, and low-power I/O, not a bus or main power rail. The 30.0 µ\" gold or GXT™ plating on the mating surface gives the contact interface corrosion resistance and supports repeated mating cycles in environments where the connector sees field service or periodic reconnection. The right-angle through-hole termination places the pin row parallel to the PCB, which suits board-edge applications or space-constrained enclosures where the mating half routes parallel to the board. The unshrouded design means the pins are exposed — the mating receptacle provides the polarization and keying, so the header itself has no mis-mate protection beyond the pin pattern. The black UL94 V-0 housing is standard for equipment inside an enclosure that requires a flammability rating. ## Positioning in the BERGSTIK® II Family Within the BERGSTIK® II series, the 68405-140HLF is the 40-position variant at 0.100\" pitch and 5 A rating.","metaTitle":"Amphenol BERGSTIK II 68405-140HLF, 40 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"68405-140HLF: Amphenol BERGSTIK® II unshrouded header, 40 positions, 0.100\" pitch, 5 A, gold plating, right-angle through-hole.","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":"0.190\\\" (4.83mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"68405","Insulation Material":"-","Number of Positions":"40","Row Spacing - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Contact Finish - Post":"-","Contact Length - Post":"0.095\\\" (2.41mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"5A","Operating Temperature":"-","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold or Gold, GXT™","Contact Length - Mating":"0.230\\\" (5.84mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"30.0µin (0.76µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.8970","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/f07eb009696ffe298bd4359a478f2e44.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/68405-140HLF/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"How many positions does 68405-140HLF have?","answer":"40 positions, all loaded, in two rows at 0.100\" pitch."},{"question":"What is the mounting type of 68405-140HLF?","answer":"Through-hole, right-angle — the pins exit parallel to the board surface."},{"question":"What is the pitch of 68405-140HLF?","answer":"0.100\" (2.54 mm) on both the mating pitch and the row spacing."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/amphenol/68405-140HLF","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/amphenol/68405-140HLF when reusing this data.
