It uses a 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch with matching 0.100\" row spacing, so the PCB footprint matches the standard 0.100\" grid. All 68 positions are loaded, making this a full-population header for high-density signal routing. Rated at 5 A per contact and 110 V, it handles moderate signal or low-power duty in a board stack. The 30.0 µin gold or GXT™ plating on the mating surface gives it the cycle life for repeated connect-disconnect in testing or field service, while the phosphor bronze contact material provides consistent spring force over time. The through-hole solder termination with a 0.120\" (3.05mm) post length suits standard PCB thicknesses. The overall contact length of 1.040\" (26.42mm) and a mating length of 0.820\" (20.83mm) define the stack height budget when mated with a matching receptacle. ## Unshrouded design and board layout fit This is an unshrouded header, meaning there is no plastic wall around the pins. The board layout engineer gets a smaller footprint than a shrouded equivalent, but the pins are exposed and need careful handling during assembly and mating. The push-pull fastening type means no locking latch — the mating receptacle relies on friction fit alone, so vibration resistance depends on the receptacle's own retention. The insulation height of 0.100\" (2.54mm) keeps the header low-profile above the board surface. The black UL94 V-0 housing meets the flame rating required for equipment inside an enclosure.","metaTitle":"FCI 87901-168HLF BERGSTIK II Header, 68 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"FCI BERGSTIK II 87901-168HLF unshrouded header, 68 positions, 0.100\" pitch, 5 A, 110 V, 30.0 µin gold.

Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — no stock-holding claim is made here, but it is quoted on request against your BOM quantity."},{"question":"What is the mating connector for 87901-168HLF?","answer":"The 87901-168HLF is an unshrouded male pin header. It mates with a standard 0.100\" pitch dual-row female socket receptacle from the BERGSTIK II or compatible series. The exact mating part depends on the required stack height and termination style."},{"question":"Is 87901-168HLF shrouded or unshrouded?","answer":"The 87901-168HLF is an unshrouded header — there is no plastic shroud around the pins. This saves board space but leaves the pins exposed for handling and alignment."},{"question":"What is the pinout of 87901-168HLF?","answer":"The 87901-168HLF has 68 positions in a dual-row configuration with all positions loaded. The pinout follows the standard 0.100\" x 0.100\" grid pattern typical of BERGSTIK II headers.
