The Amphenol BERGSTIK II 92634-446HLF is a 46-position, dual-row unshrouded header on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It's a right-angle through-hole part — the pins exit parallel to the board, so the connector sits flush at the board edge and the mating force is taken by the PCB, not the solder joints. With all 46 positions loaded and tin-plated square pins rated 5 A per circuit, this is a dense general-purpose I/O header for parallel data buses, address lines, or multi-conductor board-to-wire harnesses where you need the full position count on a single connector.
What the ratings mean for the fit
The 0.100" pitch is the bread-and-butter spacing for prototype boards, perfboard, and standard 0.1-inch header footprints — no custom layout needed. The 46 positions in two rows (23 per row) with 0.100" row spacing means the PCB footprint is 2.300" long by 0.100" wide, plus the through-hole pads. The right-angle orientation puts the mating face parallel to the board surface, which suits card-edge I/O or mezzanine connections where the cable exits sideways rather than straight up. Tin plating on both the mating and post sides is fine for moderate mating cycles (under 50 mates) in a clean indoor environment; for frequent reconnection or corrosive atmospheres, you'd want the gold-plated variant in this series.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The 92634-446HLF carries an Active lifecycle status — the manufacturer lists it as a current production part, so there is no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy clock on this BOM line. No official cross-reference or direct substitute is on record — if the 46-position count is what your board calls for, this is the part that fills it.
