It uses a standard 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch on both rows and between rows, matching the footprint of legacy and current.100\" grid systems. The through-hole, right-angle orientation places the pin rows parallel to the PCB, which suits board-edge mounting where the mated board sits parallel to the main board. Rated at 5A per contact with a 110V voltage limit, this header handles signal and moderate power duty in a single connector. The 66 positions are fully loaded, so the BOM circuit count must match exactly. The tin-plated mating surface, at 100.0µin thickness, provides a durable, cost-effective contact for applications with moderate mating cycle requirements — not for high-cycle or corrosive environments where gold would be specified. The housing is rated UL94 V-0, meeting the flame retardancy requirement for equipment inside an enclosure. The push-pull fastening type and unshrouded design mean the header relies on the mating receptacle's retention features; there is no integral latch on this half. ## Mating and Termination This unshrouded header mates with a standard 0.100\" pitch, dual-row receptacle housing — typically a BERGSTIK or equivalent socket strip. The square male pins (0.025\" square, standard for the series) accept IDC or crimp-socket terminations. The through-hole solder tails are 0.125\" (3.18mm) long, designed for standard PCB thicknesses. The contact material is phosphor bronze with a tin post finish for reliable soldering.","metaTitle":"FCI 68697-466HLF BERGSTIK II Header, 66 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"68697-466HLF BERGSTIK II header, 66 positions, 0.100\" pitch, 5A, 110V, tin-plated, through-hole right angle.
