It is an unshrouded, right-angle through-hole mount — the pins exit parallel to the PCB, which suits board-edge or mezzanine connections where the mating axis runs along the board plane. Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, with a tin-on-tin contact system (100.0 µin mating finish) that handles moderate mating cycles in controlled environments. The UL94 V-0 rated black housing meets the flammability requirement for equipment installed inside an enclosure. ## What the ratings mean for fit The 30 positions at 0.100\" pitch match a standard 30-circuit BOM line — the dual-row layout keeps the board footprint compact at 15 pins per row. The 5 A per contact rating is typical for signal-level interconnects; the tin plating limits the connector to applications with fewer than 50 mating cycles and no corrosive atmosphere. The right-angle orientation means the mating header plugs in parallel to the board, which is common for mezzanine stacking or cable-to-board connections at the board edge. The unshrouded header design means the pins are exposed — no keying or polarization guide. The mating receptacle must provide its own alignment and retention; the push-pull fastening type relies on the friction of the contact interface rather than a locking latch. For vibration-prone environments, a shrouded header or a connector with a positive lock would be a better fit.","metaTitle":"FCI BERGSTIK II 68697-430HLF Header, 30 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"FCI BERGSTIK II 68697-430HLF dual-row board-to-board header, 30 positions, 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch, right-angle through-hole, 5A, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Style":"Board to Board","title":"68697-430HLF","Series":"BERGSTIK® II","Package":"Bag","Shrouding":"Unshrouded","Termination":"Solder","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)","Voltage Rating":"110V","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.190\\\" (4.83mm)","Base Product Number":"68697","Number of Positions":"30","Row Spacing - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.125\\\" (3.18mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"5A","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.230\\\" (5.84mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"100.0µin (2.54µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$5.0800","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/f07eb009696ffe298bd4359a478f2e44.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/68697-430HLF/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch and number of positions of 68697-430HLF?","answer":"The 68697-430HLF has 30 positions arranged in 2 rows on a 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch, with the same 0.100\" row spacing."},{"question":"What is the mating connector for 68697-430HLF?","answer":"This is an unshrouded male header — it mates with any standard 0.100\" pitch dual-row female socket or receptacle that accepts 30 positions.
