The 0.100\" pitch is the bread-and-butter spacing for prototype boards and standard perfboard — you can route a trace between pads without squeezing, and the 0.318\" (8.08mm) mating length gives enough wipe for reliable contact with a standard female socket. ## Through-hole mounting and unshrouded design This is a through-hole header — the 0.120\" (3.05mm) solder post length suits standard 0.062\" to 0.093\" PCBs. The 68001-236HLF is the closest functional peer — same 36 positions, same 0.100\" pitch, same unshrouded single-row layout, same gold GXT plating at 15.0µin. The difference is the overall length: the 78511-236HLF has a 0.538\" (13.67mm) overall contact length versus 0.450\" (11.43mm) for the 68001-236HLF. That extra length comes from a longer mating pin (0.318\" vs 0.230\"), which gives more wipe depth for thicker board stacks or deeper receptacles. If your mating socket has a standard insertion depth, either works — but the 78511 gives you more margin on the wipe.","metaTitle":"78511-236HLF BERGSTIK® II Header, 36 Pos, 2.54mm Pitch","metaDescription":"78511-236HLF BERGSTIK® II unshrouded header, 36 positions, 0.100\" pitch, 5 A, through-hole, gold GXT plating.
