MK 205 24 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 205 24 G is a male pin header connector from the Fischer Elektronik MK 205 series, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features 24 contacts arranged in a dual row with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes solder and plug pins with a diameter of 0.5 mm, constructed from CuZn alloy with gold plating. It is rated for 60 VDC and supports a current capacity of 1.5 A per contact. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to 163°C, ensuring reliability in industrial environments.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 0.100 inch spacing for compact board-to-board or cable connections
• Gold-plated CuZn alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Through-hole termination method provides secure mechanical attachment to printed circuit boards

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• General-purpose PCB signal routing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'G' denotes gold plating as indicated by distributor listings. Confirm the contact count matches the required 24-position specification. Ensure the through-hole footprint aligns with the target PCB design. Cross-reference the datasheet for the MK 205 series to validate thermal and electrical ratings against application requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row male header with gold-plated contacts is required for through-hole assembly. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for many industrial connectors. Consider the 1.5 A rating and 60 VDC limit for circuit compatibility. The wide temperature range suits demanding operational conditions compared to standard commercial grade parts.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 205 series, which offers various contact counts and plating options. The series is characterized by its use of 0.5 mm diameter pins and robust construction. Other variants include different pin counts such as 24, 64, or 76 positions, and alternative platings like tin or silver depending on the suffix.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include MK 205 24 Z (tin-plated) or MK 205 24 S (silver-plated), provided the plating difference is acceptable for the application. Ensure the physical dimensions and pin layout remain identical for direct replacement.
