It's a through-hole, solder-terminated male pin header with a push-pull fastening — no locking ramp, no shroud, just the pins and the insulator. This is a board-to-board interconnect, typically used as the pin half of a jumper or mezzanine connection where the mating receptacle sits on a second PCB. The 38 positions are fully loaded across both rows, and the row spacing matches the pitch at 0.100\" (2.54 mm), so the footprint lands on a standard 0.100\" grid. The 0.100\" (2.54 mm) pitch is the bread-and-butter DIP footprint — it matches legacy perf-board layouts, standard 0.100\" grid receptacles, and the vast installed base of BERGSTIK II headers. The unshrouded design means there's no polarisation key or housing wall to guide the mating half. The mating receptacle must be correctly oriented by the board layout — a 180-degree mis-mate is possible if the board-to-board alignment isn't pinned. The overall contact length of 0.525\" (13.34 mm) gives a mated stack height of roughly 0.325\" (8.26 mm) from the mating face to the board surface, which is a standard mezzanine height for 0.100\" pitch headers. It's a standard BERGSTIK II header in a common position count, so supply is steady through independent distribution.","metaTitle":"FCI 86832-438HLF BERGSTIK II Header, 38 Pos, 0.100\" Pitch","metaDescription":"FCI 86832-438HLF BERGSTIK® II unshrouded header, 38 positions, 0.100\" pitch, 5 A, tin-plated, UL94 V-0.
