BERGSTIK II Unshrouded Header, 36 Positions
The Amphenol 91276-236HLF is a BERGSTIK II unshrouded male header, 36 positions in a single row at the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It terminates through-hole with solder posts, mates with matching receptacle housings via push-pull fastening, and is rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V. The 15.0 µin gold or GXT plating on the mating surface handles repeated insertion cycles without fretting corrosion — a good match for test fixtures, programming jigs, or modular board stacks where the header sees more than a few mates over its life.
What the Ratings Mean for the Fit
The 0.100" pitch is the de facto DIP footprint — any board drilled for standard 0.100" header spacing accepts this part without a layout change. 36 positions on a single row means the header spans about 3.5 inches of board edge; the layout engineer needs to confirm that the board real estate and mating-side clearance accommodate that length. The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for signal-level current at this pitch — it carries logic-level power and I/O lines, not a main bus rail. The 15.0 µin gold or GXT plating on the mating surface gives the contact interface corrosion resistance through repeated mates, which matters if this header lives in a production test station or a board that gets swapped between systems.
Sourcing and Lifecycle
The 91276-236HLF carries an Active lifecycle status — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy pressure. It can be specified into new designs with confidence. No official cross-reference or direct replacement is on record — match the 36-position count and 0.100" pitch against your BOM line.
