Product Introduction
It uses a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and through-hole solder termination, making it a drop-in fit for legacy 0.100" grid layouts and common IDC ribbon-cable receptacles. The single-row, push-pull fastening style keeps the footprint simple — no shrouding wall to clear on the board, but also no polarization key to prevent a 180° mis-mate.
Key Ratings & What They Mean
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and 0.318" (8.08 mm) mating length are standard for the BERGSTIK® II family, so the mating receptacle (typically a 0.100" pitch IDC socket or crimp housing) needs no special clearance.
Construction & Termination
Phosphor bronze square pins, through-hole solder tails 0.120" (3.05 mm) long — the post length suits standard 0.062" to 0.093" PCB thickness with enough protrusion for a reliable solder fillet. The unshrouded design gives easy access for probing or manual wiring, but the board layout must provide the polarization; the header itself won't prevent a reversed mate.
Cross-Reference Note
The 93992-436HLF is a near-identical sibling in the same series: same 36 positions, same 0.100" pitch, same tin plating and UL94 V-0 rating, but rated 3 A per contact instead of 5 A. If the BOM calls for 5 A headroom, the 78511-436HLF is the correct pick; the 93992-436HLF fits the same footprint and mates with the same receptacle but derates the current. No other functional cross-reference is on record.
