The 0.100\" pitch and 0.100\" row spacing are the de facto standard for prototype boards and perfboard — any 0.1\" grid PCB will accept this header without a custom footprint. The 56 positions (all loaded) fill a dual-row layout 2.8\" long, so check your board edge clearance before routing. The 30.0 µ\" gold is a step above the standard 15 µ\" flash — expect 200+ mating cycles before wear-through becomes a concern. The through-hole solder termination gives a stronger mechanical anchor than SMT for a header this long — the 0.120\" (3.05 mm) post length is long enough for a good solder fillet on a standard 0.062\" board. ## Mating & Termination The square 0.025\" pins accept crimp-to-wire or insulation-displacement receptacles from the same series. The 0.600\" (15.24 mm) overall contact length means the header stands 0.380\" above the board before mating; after mating, the stack height depends on the receptacle chosen. ## Lifecycle & Sourcing No official replacement or successor has been assigned; this is the current buildable part number for the 56-position, 30 µ\" gold variant. No reel packaging; ships in bag (bulk).","metaTitle":"Amphenol FCI 86837-156HLF BergStik II Header, 56 Pos","metaDescription":"Amphenol FCI 86837-156HLF BergStik® II unshrouded header, 56 positions, 0.100\" pitch, 5 A, 30 µ\" gold, UL94 V-0.
