MK 205 80 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK 205 80 G is a male header connector designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It features 80 positions arranged in two rows with a standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are constructed from copper-zinc alloy and finished with gold plating to ensure reliable conductivity. This component utilizes solder and plug pins with a diameter of 0.5 mm, providing robust mechanical stability and electrical performance for industrial applications requiring durable board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnections.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Gold-plated copper-zinc alloy contacts for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Two-row through-hole design with 0.100 inch spacing
• Solder and plug pin configuration for secure mating

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Communication hardware

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G' confirms gold plating as distinct from tin-plated variants like 'Z'. Ensure the 80-position count matches the required circuit density. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style aligns with the PCB fabrication capabilities and assembly processes utilized in the target manufacturing environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when high durability and corrosion resistance are critical for long-term reliability in harsh environments. The gold finish supports frequent mating cycles better than tin alternatives. Consider the physical footprint and row configuration to ensure adequate clearance on the PCB layout compared to single-row or different pitch options.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 205 series, which specializes in male headers with 0.5 mm diameter pins. The series offers various contact counts and plating options to suit different electrical and mechanical requirements. The MK 205 80 G specifically addresses needs for higher density connections with premium surface finishes.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other position counts such as MK 205 64 G or MK 205 48 G if fewer contacts suffice. For non-gold alternatives, verify compatibility with tin-plated versions like MK 205 80 Z, noting differences in corrosion resistance and mating cycle ratings.
