It is a board-to-board interconnect — the pins mate with a matching receptacle housing, typically a BergStik or similar 0.100\" pitch socket strip. The through-hole solder termination and square pins make it a direct fit for breadboard, perfboard, or any PCB laid out on 0.100\" centers. Rated 5 A per circuit with a 110 V voltage rating, it handles signal and light power duty in prototype, test equipment, and production assemblies where the unshrouded profile keeps the footprint low. ## What the key ratings mean for your fit The 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch is the classic DIP/breadboard spacing — your PCB footprint matches any standard 0.100\" header receptacle or socket strip. The 12 positions are fully loaded, so every pin is present; if your BOM calls for 12 circuits, this is a one-to-one match. The 5 A per circuit rating is per-pin at the rated temperature rise — suitable for signal lines, logic power, and low-current loads, but not a bus-level power rail. The 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold or GXT plating on the mating surface gives this header a high cycle life — good for test fixtures, programming jigs, or any application where the connector sees repeated mate/unmate cycles. The unshrouded design means there is no keying or polarization: the mating receptacle must provide its own shroud and the assembler must align the pin row visually. ## Mating and termination This header mates with any standard 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch receptacle or socket strip — the unshrouded pins insert into the mating housing's shroud. The push-pull fastening means there is no locking latch; the retention comes from the contact interference fit. The through-hole solder termination is a straight post, 0.095\" (2.41 mm) long, for soldering into plated through-holes. The overall contact length of 1.238\" (31.45 mm) includes a 1.043\" (26.49 mm) mating length — the pins extend well above the housing for deep engagement with the receptacle.","metaTitle":"Amphenol BERGSTIK II 87185-112HLF Header, 12 Pos","metaDescription":"Amphenol BERGSTIK II 87185-112HLF board-to-board header, 12 positions, single row, 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch, 5 A, through-hole, gold/GXT plating.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol ICC (FCI)","Style":"Board to Board","Series":"BERGSTIK® II","Package":"Bag","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Unshrouded","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Push-Pull","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"110V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"87185","Insulation Material":"-","Number of Positions":"12","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"-","Contact Length - Post":"0.095\\\" (2.41mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"5A","Operating Temperature":"-","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"1.238\\\" (31.45mm)","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold or Gold, GXT™","Contact Length - Mating":"1.043\\\" (26.49mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"30.0µin (0.76µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.9500","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/92307fceaf3148c5e5d11d6ec0b95cb1.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/87185-112HLF/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch of 87185-112HLF?","answer":"The pitch is 0.100\" (2.54 mm) — the standard breadboard- and DIP-compatible spacing."},{"question":"What is the current rating of 87185-112HLF?","answer":"Rated 5 A per circuit at the stated temperature rise — suitable for signal and light power duty."},{"question":"Can 87185-112HLF be used with a 2.54 mm header receptacle?","answer":"Yes — the 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch mates with any standard 2.54 mm receptacle or socket strip.
