It carries 5 A per circuit at 110 V, with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts throughout — including a thick 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) tin finish on the mating surface. The push-pull friction lock holds the pair together in moderate-vibration environments, and the UL94 V-0 black housing meets the flame-rating requirement for equipment inside an enclosure. This is a workhorse board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnect for internal PCB layouts where the footprint and pin count are the primary drivers. ## What the ratings mean for the fit The 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch is the classic DIP grid — it matches standard perf-board layouts, 0.1-inch ribbon cable IDC connectors, and legacy through-hole patterns. The 62 positions across two rows means the board footprint is a 31-pin-per-row layout; the mating half must be a 62-position dual-row receptacle (unshrouded or shrouded) on the same 0.100\" row spacing. The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for a tin-plated header at this pitch — adequate for signal and moderate power duty, but not a high-current bus. The 100.0 µin tin on the mating side is a thick, durable finish for moderate mating cycles; if the application requires frequent field-service or a corrosive environment, a gold-plated sibling would be the better choice. ## Deployment context As an unshrouded header with a push-pull friction lock, this connector is intended for internal board-to-board or wire-to-board connections where the mated pair is not subject to high vibration or cable strain. The through-hole solder termination gives a reliable mechanical anchor on the PCB, and the UL94 V-0 housing makes it suitable for equipment inside an enclosure where flame-rating is a compliance requirement. ## Sourcing and lifecycle The 79821-462HLF carries an active lifecycle status. No official successor or direct cross-reference is on record — the BERGSTIK II series is broad, and the 62-position dual-row variant is the part to match against the BOM line.","metaTitle":"Amphenol BERGSTIK II 79821-462HLF","metaDescription":"Amphenol BERGSTIK II 62-position dual-row unshrouded header, 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch, 5 A per circuit, 110 V, tin-plated contacts, UL94 V-0.
