MK 226 SMD 26 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 226 SMD 26 Z is a surface mount straight pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 2.54 mm pitch and consists of two rows with 26 contacts. The connector utilizes copper zinc contact material with a tin finish, specifically 157.5 µin (4.00 µm) thick on the mating side. Electrical specifications include a nominal current rating of 1.5 A, volume resistance of ≤10 mΩ, and inter-contact capacitance of ≤0.4 pF. Mechanical durability includes vibration resistance up to 15 g.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design for automated PCB assembly
• Tin-plated copper zinc contacts for reliable conductivity
• Low volume resistance and minimal parasitic capacitance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit assemblies requiring surface mount headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact finish and packaging format. Confirm that the surface mount orientation and row configuration align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles as defined in the manufacturer's datasheet for this specific component variant.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface-mount male header is required for 2.54 mm pitch applications. The 26-contact, dual-row configuration suits dense board-to-board interfaces. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose use and verify that the 1.5 A current rating meets the system's electrical requirements without derating.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to Fischer Elektronik's MK series of pin headers designed for surface mount technology. The series offers various contact counts and row configurations to accommodate different density requirements. These connectors are engineered for high reliability in industrial and consumer electronics environments, providing stable mechanical and electrical connections between circuit boards.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include MK 226 SMD 28 Z SM and MK 226 SMD 38 Z SM, which share identical electrical characteristics and form factors but differ in contact count. Verify that the alternative part number matches the required pin count and packaging type before substitution.
