What This Connector Is
The Amphenol 92417-408HLF is the 8-position member of the BERGSTIK II dual-row board-to-board header series — a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch male pin header with through-hole solder termination designed for parallel board-stacking interconnects. Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts carry 5 A per circuit at the mating interface with a 100 µin (2.54 µm) tin finish thickness — a heavier plating than typical signal-grade headers, giving this header more headroom for power-passing or moderate-duty board-to-board runs. The housing is unshrouded with push-pull fastening, which keeps the pair seated in the stack without a locking tab — suited for applications where insertion force matters and board-spacing is controlled by the standoff height.
Board Layout and Stack Fit
At 0.100 inch row spacing and 8 positions across two rows, the 92417-408HLF fits a standard 0.100 inch grid footprint — the most common pitch for legacy and industrial control boards, so routing density is governed by the adjacent trace keep-out rather than the header itself. Insulation height is 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) and the post length extending below the board is 0.110 inch (2.79 mm) — confirm your board thickness clears the solder tail for wave or hand-solder assembly.
Ratings and Selection Logic
The 110 V rating limits this header to low-voltage signal or power distribution within a closed enclosure — it is not rated for mains or line-voltage passing. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating on the black housing means the connector meets the baseline flame-retardance requirement for most industrial and commercial equipment enclosures — confirm against your specific UL review if the end product carries a UL certification. Contact shape is square — verify the receptacle slot geometry matches before specifying a mating housing, as square-pin headers mate withIDC socket strips and matching dual-beam receptacles, not card-edge.
Lifecycle and Sourcing
The base product number 92417 covers a range of position counts within the BERGSTIK II series — confirm the 8-position requirement matches your circuit count exactly before committing, since position count drives the footprint and a mismatched header will not seat in the specified footprint.
