MK 214 X 2 6 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 214 X 2 6 G is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features six positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) spacing. The component utilizes through-hole termination for secure PCB mounting. Contact surfaces are gold-plated to ensure reliable electrical performance. The connector body is black, and the pins have a diameter of 0.5 mm.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Precision-engineered parallel PCB connection with 0.5 mm pin diameter
• Gold-plated CuZn alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Through-hole straight mount configuration

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnection
• Wire-to-Board connections
• Parallel PCB assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against manufacturer documentation to confirm contact count and row configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors regarding pitch and housing dimensions. Check surface finish specifications if environmental conditions require specific plating thicknesses. Confirm package type matches assembly requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-reliability header is needed for parallel circuit board stacking or wiring. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures broad compatibility with standard PCB layouts. Gold plating offers superior conductivity and longevity compared to tin finishes in demanding environments.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 214 series of precision pin headers. The series is designed for robust electronic assemblies requiring stable mechanical and electrical connections. Similar variants exist with different contact counts, such as the MK 214 X 2 34 G and MK 214 X 2 46 G, offering scalability for larger designs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik headers within the MK 214 series with matching 6-position and 2-row configurations. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 0.5 mm pin diameter and gold plating specification to ensure interchangeability.
