98401-402-12LF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 98401-402-12LF is a Bergstik® series header connector designed for surface mount termination. It features a 12-position, single-row configuration with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) contact pitch. The connector utilizes square pin contacts made of phosphor bronze, featuring gold GXT™ plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail. Rated for 3A current at an ambient temperature of 25°C, it employs a push-pull locking mechanism and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 130°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design compatible with automated assembly processes
• Push-pull coupling system ensures secure mechanical retention
• Gold GXT™ contact plating provides reliable signal transmission
• UL94 V-0 rated thermoplastic insulation for fire safety

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in consumer electronics
• Signal routing in industrial control systems
• Internal connections within telecommunications equipment
• Interface modules in data processing hardware

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Amphenol documentation to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with reflow soldering profiles specified in the datasheet. Confirm that the push-pull locking requirement aligns with the target assembly design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row header with surface mount termination is required. The 2.54mm pitch suits general-purpose signal applications. Consider the push-pull feature if vibration resistance or easy manual insertion is necessary. Verify that the 3A current rating meets the circuit requirements under the expected operating temperature conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Bergstik® family of board-to-board connectors from Amphenol ICC (FCI). The series offers various position counts and row configurations. As an FCI product now under Amphenol, it maintains the brand's focus on durable, high-reliability interconnect solutions for commercial and industrial electronic markets.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12-position, single-row, 2.54mm pitch, and surface mount form factor. Verify that alternative components support the same push-pull locking mechanism and current rating. Cross-reference pin dimensions and insulation height to ensure mechanical fit within the existing PCB layout.
