MK 14 X 1 42 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK 14 X 1 42 G is a male pin header connector designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It features a single row with 42 positions and a standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The component supports a current rating of 1.5 A and a voltage rating of 60 V DC. Contact surfaces are available in gold or tin plating options, ensuring reliable electrical connections for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Precision-engineered parallel PCB connection design
• Through-hole mounting for secure mechanical attachment
• Gold-plated contact surface for corrosion resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic assembly requiring high-density pin headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating configuration required for your application, as datasheets indicate variations such as Ni+≥0.2µm Au or Ni+46µm Sn. Confirm that the 42-position count matches your footprint requirements. Ensure the through-hole straight form factor aligns with your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a 42-pin male header is necessary for direct PCB insertion. Consider the 1.5 A current capacity and 60 V rating against your circuit demands. Evaluate whether gold or tin plating best suits your environmental conditions and soldering processes to ensure long-term reliability.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 14 series, which specializes in precision pin strips for electronic assemblies. The series offers various contact counts and plating options to accommodate different density and durability requirements in industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik models within the MK 14 family, such as MK 14 X 1 25 G or MK 14 X 1 22 G, provided the pin count difference is acceptable. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole mounting style.
