The 10-position versions (68602-210HLF and 68602-110HLF) follow the same gold-thickness split. For a fixed BOM where the 8-circuit count is locked, the plating grade is the only selection variable between these four parts. ## Active Lifecycle and Sourcing Posture RoHS compliant per the manufacturer. The 68602 base number covers multiple position counts and plating grades; this specific suffix (-208HLF) is the 8-position, 15.0 µinch gold variant. ## Unshrouded Form Factor — Fit and Routing The mating receptacle must align directly; this works for board-to-board stacking where the two PCBs are guided by other hardware.","metaTitle":"68602-208HLF Amphenol ICC BERGSTIK II Header 8 Pos 2.54mm","metaDescription":"68602-208HLF BERGSTIK II unshrouded header, 8 circuits, 0.100\" pitch, 3 A, 15.0 µinch gold.
