What this connector is
The 92417-438HLF is the 38-circuit member of the Amphenol FCI BERGSTIK II board-to-board header series, built as a dual-row unshrouded male pin header with 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch throughout. All 38 positions are loaded with square-pin contacts in phosphor bronze, tin-plated on both the mating face and the solder-tail side to 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) thickness. The push-pull fastening type means this header relies on mating-part retention — there is no integral locking latch, so the board-level design must account for whether the receptacle provides positive retention or allows extraction under vibration or service access.
Board layout fit
The 0.100-inch pitch and 0.100-inch row spacing give a standard 2-row footprint with 38 positions. The 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) insulation height sits flush with the board surface, making this a low-profile vertical-entry header — the 0.110-inch (2.79 mm) tail length is stated for through-hole soldering. The overall contact length of 0.530 inches (13.46 mm) and the 0.320-inch (8.13 mm) mating length must clear the envelope of the mated connector in the stack.
Ratings that drive selection
5 A per contact at 110 V makes this suitable for signal distribution and moderate power branching within a board-to-board stack — the current rating is per circuit, so distributing across multiple pins reduces individual contact loading. The tin plating grade at 100 µin (2.54 µm) is the full-mating-face thickness; it is adequate for multiple mating cycles in field-service or production-test scenarios, though the BERGSTIK II series also carries higher-grade gold-plated variants where higher cycle life or lower contact resistance at low current is needed. The UL94 V-0 insulator rating confirms the housing material meets the flammability class required for industrial equipment enclosures.
What it mates with
This is a male pin header — the mating half is the matching BERGSTIK II dual-row receptacle, typically an IDC ribbon-cable housing or a board-receiving female header in the same series. The 0.100-inch pitch and dual-equal row spacing are consistent across the series, so any 0.100-inch dual-row BERGSTIK II female connector at 38 positions is a compatible mating half. The unshrouded pin field carries no polarisation key — alignment relies on the receptacle keying or on board-level chamfers at the entry zone.
Sourcing
Production status is Active — no successor or cross-reference exists, and no end-of-life notice applies. The connector is packaged in a bag. Quoted to order against BOM quantity; confirm position count and pitch against the board footprint before committing.
