The 5 A per-contact rating is typical for a signal-level header at this pitch — the tin plating and square pin geometry handle repeated insertion without galling, though the contact finish thickness of 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) on the mating side gives a thicker tin layer than many economy headers, which helps with fretting resistance in moderate-vibration environments. The 0.320" (8.13 mm) mating length provides a solid wipe for the mating receptacle contact.
As an unshrouded header with push-pull fastening, the 92417-468HLF mates with any standard 0.100" pitch dual-row receptacle housing that accepts square 0.025" pins — common mates include the BERGSTIK II receptacle or industry-standard IDC sockets. There is no polarizing key, so the mating connector must be keyed or the board layout must enforce orientation through mechanical features.
