MK 214 X 1 12 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 214 X 1 12 G is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with 12 positions and a standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The component is designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections, utilizing precision-engineered pins compatible with 0.5 mm diameter sockets. This specific variant includes an 'ECO' designation indicating environmental compliance and a 'G' suffix denoting gold plating on the contact surfaces to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance in electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting configuration for secure PCB attachment
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for enhanced conductivity and durability
• Standard 2.54 mm pitch spacing for broad compatibility
• Compatible with 0.5 mm diameter socket systems

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic assembly prototyping
• Industrial control panel wiring

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact pin count matches the required 12-position specification. Confirm that the gold plating variant is necessary for the application's corrosion environment. Ensure the through-hole footprint aligns with the PCB design rules. Check for any specific RoHS compliance documentation if required by the target market regulations.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-position male header with 2.54 mm pitch is required. The gold-plated contacts are suitable for applications demanding high reliability and low contact resistance. Consider the through-hole mounting method if surface-mount alternatives are not feasible. Verify mechanical stability requirements against the connector's holding force specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to Fischer Elektronik's MK 214 series of pin headers. The series offers various position counts and pitch options. The 'X 1' indicates the single row configuration. The '12' specifies the number of contacts. The 'G' suffix differentiates it from non-gold plated variants within the same physical form factor.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, and through-hole mounting style. Gold-plated contacts are preferred for equivalent performance. Other manufacturers offering similar male headers may serve as alternatives if mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings are identical.
