The Amphenol BERGSTIK 93690-105-32LF is a 32-position, dual-row, 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch unshrouded male pin header.
The contact finish is where this part earns its keep: the mating surface carries gold GXT plating at 30.0 µinch (0.76 µm), with a tin post finish at 39.4 µinch (1.00 µm). The tin on the solder tail is standard for through-hole solder joints. Termination is through-hole with a press-fit, solder option. The press-fit feature means you can insert the header into plated-through holes without wave soldering — useful for backplane assemblies or rework-friendly builds. The overall contact length is 0.608" (15.44 mm), with a mating length of 0.327" (8.30 mm) and a post length of 0.177" (4.50 mm). No shrouding here — it's an unshrouded header, which means you get a smaller footprint and lower cost, but no polarization keying. Mating alignment depends on the receptacle housing's own features.
Where You'd Use This
This header is a general-purpose board-to-board or cable interconnect for industrial controls, test equipment, telecom gear, and embedded systems. The unshrouded design and breakaway construction make it a common choice for prototyping and low-to-medium volume production where you need a standard pin header that mates with IDC sockets, crimp housings, or other 0.100" pitch receptacles.
