MK 214 X 2 78 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 214 X 2 78 G is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features a 2.54 mm pitch with two rows and 78 contacts in a through-hole straight configuration. The component utilizes copper zinc contact material and polyamide (PA46) insulation, which is glass-filled nylon 4/6 rated UL 94 V-0. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Precision-engineered parallel PCB connection with 0.5 mm pin diameter
• Gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Glass-filled polyamide insulation for thermal stability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects
• Wire-to-board connections
• Compact electronic assemblies requiring high-density headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the 78-contact count matches the required circuit density. Confirm that the through-hole straight form factor aligns with the target PCB layout and assembly process requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2-row, 78-position header with 2.54 mm spacing is required. The gold plating variant is suitable for applications demanding low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Verify that the operating temperature range up to 163°C meets the environmental conditions of the final assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK series of precision pin headers. The series offers various contact counts and row configurations. The 'X 2' designation indicates a dual-row arrangement, while the numeric value specifies the total number of positions available in the connector housing.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When sourcing alternatives, ensure the replacement maintains the 2.54 mm pitch, 2-row configuration, and compatible insulation material properties.
