It uses the standard 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch — the same spacing as legacy DIP packages and perfboard — so the board footprint is a straightforward 2 x 9 grid. Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, this is a signal-level interconnect for board-to-board or wire-to-board duty through a mating IDC socket or crimp receptacle. The 30.0 µin gold plating on the mating surface gives it the mating cycle life for field-service or programming-header applications where the connector sees repeated connects and disconnects. ## What the ratings mean for the fit The 0.100\" pitch is the key footprint dimension — it matches standard 0.100\" header receptacles and allows the header to sit on a 0.100\" grid. The 0.720\" mating pin length gives plenty of wipe for a standard IDC socket or crimp housing. The unshrouded design means the pins are fully exposed; there is no keying or polarization shroud, so the mating connector orientation must be verified by the assembler. The 30.0 µin gold is a proper industrial thickness — this header will tolerate hundreds of mating cycles without the contact resistance drift you get from tin-plate fretting.","metaTitle":"87900-118HLF BERGSTIK II Header, 18 Pos, 2.54mm Pitch, Gold","metaDescription":"Amphenol ICC 87900-118HLF BERGSTIK II unshrouded male header, 18 positions (2x9), 0.100\" pitch, 5A, 30.0µin gold plating.
