68021-116HTLF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68021-116HTLF is a BergStik II series header connector designed for board-to-board applications. It features a right-angle, through-hole mounting style with 16 positions in a single row. The connector utilizes a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and accepts all pins. Contact materials are phosphor bronze with gold over nickel plating, rated for 3A current at 110V. Operating temperature ranges from -65°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Right-angle design facilitates compact vertical integration on printed circuit boards.
• Gold over nickel contact plating ensures reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.
• Push-pull locking mechanism provides secure mating stability during operation.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the HTLF suffix indicates specific plating or material variations compared to standard HLF versions. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some older FCI headers may not meet current directives. Check for obsolescence notices or PCNs that might affect long-term supply chain stability before finalizing procurement plans.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle male header is required for dense board stacking. Ensure the mating socket matches the 0.100 inch pitch and compatible contact length specifications. Consider thermal management requirements given the 125°C maximum operating limit and verify PCB space constraints for the right-angle footprint.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the BergStik II family, known for robust mechanical performance in high-density environments. It serves as a critical interface element within Amphenol's broader portfolio of rectangular connectors, supporting various industrial and commercial electronic assemblies requiring reliable electrical pathways.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

68021-116HLF is a documented substitute offering similar form and fit characteristics. Verify pin count and pitch compatibility before substitution. Evaluate any differences in plating thickness or material composition to ensure functional equivalence in the target application environment.
