98401-101-12LF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 98401-101-12LF is a BergStik® header connector featuring 12 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for surface mount termination. The connector employs male pin contacts with gold GXT™ plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail, housed in black thermoplastic insulation rated UL94 V-0. Rated at 3A with a 600V voltage rating, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 130°C.
