That means the same base part number covers multiple pin counts in the same pitch and plating. For a BOM that uses 6, 8, and 10 positions on different boards, one reel of the breakaway variant simplifies inventory. The Pick and Place feature indicates a flat top surface compatible with vacuum nozzles, which is standard for automated SMT assembly. No hand-soldering required for volume builds.","metaTitle":"95278-402A08LF BERGSTIK® Header – 8-Pin, 2.54mm Pitch, SMT","metaDescription":"Amphenol ICC (FCI) BERGSTIK® 8-position unshrouded breakaway header. 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch, SMT, tin-plated, 3 A per contact.
