MK 205 46 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 205 46 Z is a male header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features 46 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch in a dual-row configuration. The contacts are solder and plug pins with a diameter of 0.5 mm, constructed from CuZn alloy and gold-plated. Key dimensions include an insulation height of 2.50 mm and a contact length of 4.00 mm. The unit is supplied in bulk packaging and is currently active.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Gold-plated CuZn alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical connections in demanding industrial environments.
• Through-hole straight pin header design facilitates secure board-to-board or wire-to-board integration.
• Dual-row layout with 2.54 mm spacing supports high-density circuit applications.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Automotive electronics assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and quantity specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint designs regarding row spacing and hole diameters. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor catalogs to avoid confusion with similar series variants.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 46-position male header is required for through-hole assembly. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose interconnects. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance and low contact resistance needs. Evaluate mechanical stability requirements against the straight pin design profile.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 205 series, which specializes in solder and plug pins with a 0.5 mm diameter. The series offers various contact counts ranging from 2 to 100 positions. It is engineered for reliability in harsh industrial conditions, distinguishing it from standard consumer-grade connectors.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Fischer Elektronik headers within the MK 205 series with different contact counts, such as the MK 205 44 Z or MK 205 48 Z, provided the pin count difference is acceptable. Generic equivalents must match the 2.54 mm pitch, dual-row configuration, and through-hole mounting style.
