MK 214 X 3 12 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 214 X 3 12 G is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with 12 positions arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch spacing for the pins. The contact material is brass, and the contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable electrical performance. This component is designed for parallel PCB connections, providing a secure interface between circuit boards or wires.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting design for stable PCB integration
• Gold-plated brass contacts for corrosion resistance
• Standard 2.54 mm pitch spacing for compatibility

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• Parallel PCB assembly applications

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required pin count and pitch. Confirm the mounting style is compatible with your PCB fabrication process. Ensure the gold plating specification meets your environmental requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet for mechanical dimensions to verify fit within the enclosure. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding the solder pins.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this connector when a single-row male header with 12 positions is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for many electronic assemblies. Consider the through-hole technology if surface mount options are not suitable. Evaluate the current carrying capacity and voltage ratings against the application needs. Ensure the housing material and flange type match the assembly constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 214 series of male headers. The series offers various configurations in terms of row count and position numbers. The 'X' designation typically indicates specific mechanical variations such as height or flange style. Fischer Elektronik specializes in PCB connectors and thermal management solutions, establishing this product within their broader portfolio of board-level interconnects.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes must maintain the 2.54 mm pitch, 12-position count, and through-hole mounting. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer gold-plated brass contacts for similar reliability. Ensure the mechanical footprint and housing dimensions are identical to avoid retooling. Check for equivalent UL certification and material specifications before substitution.
