MK 226 SMD 72 Z B SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 226 SMD 72 Z B SM is a surface mount pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features two rows of contacts with a mating row spacing of 0.100 inches (2.54 mm). The component utilizes copper zinc for contact material and polyamide (PA46), specifically glass-filled nylon 4/6, for insulation. The post contact finish is tin. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design compatible with pick and place assembly processes using pad and bar magazine formats.
• Constructed with glass-filled polyamide insulation for structural integrity and thermal stability.
• Tin-plated copper zinc contacts ensure reliable electrical connectivity.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• High-density electronic assemblies requiring surface mount technology

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific reel or tape packaging configuration required for automated assembly lines. Confirm that the tin finish meets the solderability requirements for your reflow profile. Ensure the 72-contact count aligns with the PCB footprint design. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding the bar magazine format during procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-count, dual-row surface mount connector is required. The 2.54 mm pitch allows compatibility with standard through-hole and surface mount layouts. The glass-filled PA46 insulation provides necessary mechanical strength. Consider the 72-position capacity against available board space and routing density requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK 226 SMD series of pin headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various contact counts, including 12, 16, 22, 24, 26, 30, and 72 positions. All variants share similar construction materials and mounting characteristics, differing primarily in the number of contacts and total length.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MK 226 SMD 30 Z B SM or MK 226 SMD 26 Z B SM if fewer contacts are acceptable. No other manufacturer equivalents are confirmed in public documentation. Verify mechanical fit before substituting with different row counts or pitches.
