MK 226 SMD 56 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK 226 SMD 56 Z SM is a surface mount male header connector featuring 56 contacts arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 2.54 mm pitch and employs turned precision contacts made from CuZn alloy. The contact surfaces are tin-plated, while the contact sleeves feature a nickel layer with gold plating of at least 0.2 micrometers. This component is designed for reliable board-to-board or wire-to-board connections in surface-mount applications.
