MK 05 16 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 05 16 G is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features 16 positions with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and two rows. Designed for through-hole mounting, the contacts are gold-plated CuZn-alloy pins. The contact surface specification indicates Ni+≥0.2µm Au plating.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Gold-plated male pin configuration for reliable signal transmission
• Through-hole soldering compatibility for PCB integration
• Standard 2.54mm spacing ensures broad interoperability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnection systems
• Wire-to-board connection assemblies
• General-purpose PCB header applications

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact surface designation against official datasheets, as documentation references both Ni+≥0.2µm Au and Ni+46µm Sn variants within the MK 05 series. Confirm that the 16-position count matches project requirements before procurement to ensure correct part selection.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-pin male header with 2.54mm pitch is required. Ensure the design supports through-hole assembly processes. Verify that the gold-plated contact finish meets the environmental and conductivity specifications of the target application compared to tin-plated alternatives.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 05 series of PCB connectors. The series includes various position counts and contact finishes. The MK 05 16 G specifically provides a compact 16-contact solution suitable for dense board layouts requiring robust male pin connections.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik MK 05 series headers with identical 16-position counts and 2.54mm pitch. Ensure the replacement maintains the same through-hole mounting style and contact material specifications.
