MK 05 4 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 05 4 Z is a male header connector from the Fischer Elektronik MK 05 series, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features 4 positions with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are cylindrical pins made of copper-zinc alloy, plated with nickel and tin (Ni+Sn). Key electrical specifications include a nominal current of 1.5 A, nominal voltage rating, volume resistance ≤10 mΩ, and inter-contact capacitance ≤0.4 pF. Mechanical properties include vibration resistance up to 15 g. The contact length is 0.165" (4.20mm) for mating and 0.157" (4.00mm) for the column.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole male header configuration with solder cup design for secure PCB attachment
• Cylindrical pin contacts with Ni+Sn plating ensuring reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Low volume resistance and minimal capacitance between adjacent contacts for signal integrity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General purpose PCB interconnections requiring 1.5 A current capacity
• Applications demanding low contact resistance and high vibration resistance
• Prototyping and production boards utilizing standard 2.54mm spacing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm tin plating availability and packaging format. Ensure the required quantity matches the standard bulk packaging units provided by Fischer Elektronik. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm current stock status and lead times before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4-position male header is required for through-hole assembly. The 2.54mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard ribbon cables and female headers. Consider the 1.5 A nominal current rating and 15 g vibration resistance for mechanical and electrical environment suitability. Verify that the cylindrical pin geometry meets the mating connector requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 05 series of PCB connectors. The series offers various position counts and contact materials. The MK 05 4 Z specifically provides a compact 4-pin solution. It is distinct from other series like MK 04 or MK 12 which may offer different contact geometries or mounting styles. The product is currently in active production status.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 4-position count, 2.54mm pitch, and through-hole male pin configuration. Verify that any alternative component maintains the same nominal current rating of 1.5 A and similar mechanical dimensions for board space compatibility. Check if the replacement offers equivalent vibration resistance and contact material specifications.
