The FCI 92634-156HLF is a 56-circuit, dual-row unshrouded male pin header from the BergStik® II series, one of the most widely used 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch pin header families in the industry. Rated 5 A per contact with 30.0 µ" (0.76 µm) gold on the mating surface, this header is built for repeated mating cycles and moderate environmental exposure — the gold layer prevents oxidation on the contact interface better than a tin finish would. The through-hole right-angle termination places the solder tails parallel to the board, which is the typical orientation for a mezzanine or wire-to-board connection where the cable exits the board edge.
For a power distribution application, derate per the manufacturer's curve or limit the number of active pins carrying full current.
Plating and Contact Reliability
The 30.0 µ" (0.76 µm) gold over phosphor bronze contact material is a solid choice for applications requiring 200+ mating cycles or exposure to mildly corrosive environments (industrial cabinets, telecom racks). The gold thickness is well above the 15 µ" minimum that most connector engineers consider the threshold for reliable low-level signal switching. For a one-time permanent solder connection, a tin-plated version would be cheaper, but the gold here gives you field-service flexibility — the header can be unmated and remated without the contact resistance creep that tin-on-tin interfaces develop after a few cycles.
The through-hole solder tails fit a standard plated through-hole.
