MK 214 X 2 54 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK 214 X 2 54 G is a precision pin header connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 54 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are gold-plated copper-zinc alloy pins, offering a contact length of 0.260" (6.60mm). Rated for 1.5A at 60VDC, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 163°C. The insulation material is glass-filled polyamide (PA46/Nylon 4/6) with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Precision parallel PCB connection using solder and plug pins with Ø 0.5 mm diameter
• Gold-plated copper-zinc alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Glass-filled polyamide insulation provides high thermal stability and mechanical strength

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring high precision
• Wire-to-board connections in industrial control systems
• High-density electronic assemblies needing robust through-hole headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact count and row configuration. Confirm that the gold plating thickness meets application requirements for corrosion resistance. Ensure the through-hole footprint aligns with the PCB design guidelines provided in the official datasheet. Check compatibility with mating connectors from the same series to guarantee proper engagement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when high-precision parallel pin alignment is critical for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications. The gold-plated contacts are suitable for environments requiring low contact resistance and durability. Consider the operating temperature range and current rating to ensure compliance with system electrical specifications. Verify that the two-row configuration fits the available PCB space constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 214 series of male pin headers. The series is characterized by its use of precision turned pins for accurate PCB insertion. Similar parts in the series vary primarily by the number of positions and row configuration, such as the MK 214 X 2 46 G or MK 214 X 1 54 G, allowing for scalable design options within the same connector family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 2.54mm pitch, 54-position count, and two-row through-hole format. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer comparable gold-plated copper-zinc contacts and similar insulation materials like PA46. Ensure the replacement part supports the same 1.5A current rating and 163°C maximum operating temperature.
