It is a male pin header with square contacts, designed for through-hole mounting with either press-fit or solder termination. The mating interface carries a gold GXT™ finish rated at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm), while the solder/post side is tin-plated at 39.4 µin (1.00 µm). It matches the footprint of a wide range of IDC sockets, ribbon cable connectors, and crimp housings. The 16 positions are loaded across two rows, giving an 8-per-row layout that fits a standard 0.100\" x 0.100\" grid. The overall contact length of 0.582\" (14.78 mm) breaks down into a 0.295\" (7.49 mm) mating length and a 0.177\" (4.50 mm) post length, which sets the board-to-board stack height when mated with a standard receptacle. The selective plating is a deliberate design choice. The tin finish on the post (39.4 µin) is optimized for solderability and press-fit compliance. The copper alloy base material is standard for this class of header. ## Termination: Press-Fit or Solder — A Sourcing and Assembly Decision Press-fit is the preferred method for backplane or high-reliability assemblies where avoiding the thermal shock of wave solder is critical. Solder termination is the standard for prototype or low-volume builds. ## Flammability and Compliance: UL94 V-0 Thermoplastic Housing","metaTitle":"Amphenol 93690-101-16LF BergStik Header, 16 Pos","metaDescription":"Amphenol BergStik 93690-101-16LF: 16-position dual-row unshrouded breakaway header, 0.100\" pitch, gold GXT mating contacts (30.0 µin), 5 A, 110 V.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Style":"Board to Board or Cable","title":"93690-101-16LF","Series":"BERGSTIK®","Package":"Bag","Shrouding":"Unshrouded","Termination":"Press-Fit, Solder","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header, Breakaway","Fastening Type":"Push-Pull","Number of Rows":"2","Pitch - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Voltage Rating":"110V","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Base Product Number":"93690","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic","Number of Positions":"16","Row Spacing - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.177\\\" (4.50mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"5A","Overall Contact Length":"0.582\\\" (14.78mm)","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold, GXT™","Contact Length - Mating":"0.295\\\" (7.49mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"39.4µin (1.00µm)","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"30.0µin (0.76µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.1796","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/3253bb7d1206867cc42b85f492370bdf.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/93690-101-16LF/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 93690-101-16LF RoHS compliant and what is the plating thickness?","answer":"The mating contact finish is gold GXT™ at 30.0 µin (0.76 µm), and the post finish is tin at 39.4 µin (1.00 µm).
