87203-150HLF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The 87203-150HLF is a Bergstik II series header connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). It features a vertical board-to-board configuration with 50 positions and a 2.54mm mating pitch. The connector utilizes through-hole termination for secure PCB mounting and employs push-pull fastening mechanisms to ensure reliable engagement. Contact materials consist of phosphor bronze, finished with gold or GXT™ plating to enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance. The insulation is rated UL94 V-0 and is black in color.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical board-to-board design optimized for space-constrained applications
• Push-pull fastening mechanism ensures secure and reliable connection retention
• Gold or GXT™ plated phosphor bronze contacts provide durable electrical performance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Data communication equipment
• General-purpose electronic assemblies requiring robust interconnects

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating option (gold vs. GXT) required for your application, as this may affect availability. Confirm that the 50-position variant matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding receptacle from the same Bergstik II series to maintain proper mating force and alignment specifications during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, vertically oriented header is needed for board-to-board connections. The 2.54mm pitch offers a balance between signal density and ease of manufacturing. Consider the push-pull feature if vibration resistance is critical. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the UL94 V-0 insulation rating and the thermal properties of the phosphor bronze contacts.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Bergstik II family, a widely used line of headers known for their reliability and versatility. The series offers various pin counts and configurations, making it suitable for diverse industrial and commercial electronics. Amphenol ICC (formerly FCI) continues to support this legacy product line, ensuring long-term availability for established designs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 50-position, 2.54mm pitch vertical headers from the same manufacturer's Bergstik II series, such as the 87203-168HLF (68-pos) or 87203-144HLF (44-pos), provided the pin count difference is acceptable. Cross-brand replacements must match the exact mechanical dimensions, contact spacing, and termination style to ensure fitment.
