98401-401-14

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 98401-401-14 is a BergStik® series header connector designed for board-to-board applications. It features a 2.54 mm pitch with 14 positions arranged in a double row configuration. The component utilizes male pin contacts made from phosphor bronze, rated for 3 A current and 1.5 kV voltage. Termination is achieved via vertical through-hole soldering. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic material meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability standards, operating within a temperature range of -65°C to +130°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• BergStik® series design optimized for reliable signal integrity
• Breakaway header style allows for flexible circuit board layout
• Vertical orientation facilitates standard surface or through-hole mounting

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnection systems
• Industrial instrumentation modules
• General electronic equipment assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix carefully, as the 98401 series includes variants with different termination styles such as SMD or shrouded options. Confirm that the unshrouded through-hole specification matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same family to maintain proper alignment and contact engagement during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part when a 2.54 mm pitch double-row header is required for general-purpose connections. Consider the breakaway feature if space constraints necessitate customizing the number of pins per row. Verify that the 3 A current rating and 1.5 kV insulation voltage meet the system's electrical safety requirements before finalizing the design.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the BergStik® line produced by Amphenol ICC (FCI), now part of Amphenol Corporation.
