MK 205 20 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 205 20 Z is a through-hole pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features 20 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The contacts are male pins with a diameter of 0.5 mm, constructed from copper-zinc alloy and finished with tin plating. The insulator is made of glass-fiber reinforced polyamide (PA46/Nylon 4/6). Key dimensions include a contact length of 4.00 mm for the column and 4.20 mm for mating, an insulation height of 2.50 mm, and an overall contact length of 12.09 mm.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features solder and plug pins with a 0.5 mm diameter designed for reliable electrical connections in demanding industrial environments.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• Industrial electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Fischer Elektronik documentation to confirm the exact contact count and row configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding pitch and housing dimensions. Check surface finish specifications if corrosion resistance or specific conductivity requirements are critical for the application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20-position, two-row through-hole header is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for many PCB layouts. Consider the PA46 insulation material for thermal stability and the tin-plated copper-zinc contacts for general-purpose conductivity. Verify that the straight pin orientation fits the mechanical constraints of the assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK 205 series of pin headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various contact counts ranging from 2 to 100 positions while maintaining consistent 2.54 mm spacing and robust construction. The MK 205 20 Z represents a mid-range option within this family, providing a balance between connection density and physical size for standard industrial applications.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source data. When seeking alternatives, ensure the replacement matches the 2.54 mm pitch, 20-position count, dual-row layout, and through-hole mounting style. Verify that the contact material and plating meet the original electrical and environmental requirements.
