54102-S0503LF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 54102-S0503LF is a BergStik® series vertical header connector designed for board-to-board or cable applications. It features an unshrouded, two-row configuration with three positions and a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are male pins made of phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the termination column. Rated for 3A per contact and 1.5kV, it utilizes a push-pull locking mechanism and through-hole solder termination. The black thermoplastic insulation meets UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Push-pull locking mechanism ensures secure connection retention
• Gold-plated mating contacts provide reliable conductivity
• Vertical orientation supports standard PCB mounting profiles

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• General electronic equipment signal routing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official datasheets to confirm pin count and row configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding height and locking style. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertically mounted header with a push-pull lock is required. Verify that the 2.54mm pitch aligns with the target PCB footprint. Consider the 3A current rating and 1.5kV voltage rating relative to the circuit requirements. Ensure the unshrouded design fits within the available mechanical clearance constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the BergStik® family of connectors, which offers various stacking heights and configurations. The 54102 series specifically denotes unshrouded headers. Similar parts in the series may differ in position count, row arrangement, or termination length. Always cross-reference the full part number to distinguish between shrouded and unshrouded variants.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54mm pitch, 3-position, 2-row layout, and push-pull locking feature. Generic headers lacking the push-pull mechanism will not provide equivalent retention. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer comparable gold plating thickness and material specifications for electrical reliability.
