All 28 positions are loaded — no depopulated rows to account for in the BOM. The through-hole solder termination with a 0.120\" (3.05mm) post length suits standard PCB thicknesses in the 1.6mm range. The overall contact length of 0.600\" (15.24mm) gives a 0.380\" (9.65mm) mating interface — enough to reach the bottom of a standard box header or IDC socket. The tin-on-tin contact interface (100.0µin or 2.54µm on the mating side) is cost-effective for applications with limited mating cycles, typically under 50 cycles. ## Mating and Compatibility As an unshrouded header with a push-pull fastening system, this mates with any standard 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch IDC socket or box header that accepts 28 positions in a dual-row configuration. The 0.380\" (9.65mm) mating pin length is compatible with most standard IDC receptacles and DIP sockets. No keying or polarization — orientation is set by the PCB footprint.","metaTitle":"FCI 86837-428HLF BERGSTIK II Header, 28 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"FCI BERGSTIK II unshrouded header, 28 positions, 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch, dual-row, through-hole, tin-plated contacts rated 5A.
