Rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V, it handles moderate signal and low-power distribution duty — the 5 A figure is per-contact at ambient, so a full 18-circuit load stays within the temperature rise limit of the UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing. The posts are tin-plated (39.4µin) for reliable soldering or press-fit insertion into plated through-holes. The 0.100\" row spacing (0.100\" between rows as well) creates a 2.54 mm grid that matches legacy perf-board and standard DIP footprints. The overall contact length of 0.685\" breaks down to a 0.399\" mating tail and a 0.177\" post — the post length is enough to clear a standard 1.6 mm PCB and still leave solder fillet visible on the bottom side. Termination is listed as both press-fit and solder — the square 0.025\" pin works in either process. For press-fit, the pin's corner radius and the plated through-hole diameter need to match the manufacturer's recommended hole size to avoid damaging the barrel. For wave solder, the tin-plated post wets well with standard no-clean flux.","metaTitle":"Amphenol FCI 93690-102-18LF BERGSTIK Header, 18 Pos","metaDescription":"93690-102-18LF Amphenol FCI BERGSTIK 18-position dual-row male header, 0.100\" pitch, 5A, gold GXT plating.
