MK 251 16 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 251 16 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It features a 2-row configuration with 16 contacts and a standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The component utilizes precision-engineered solder and plug pins with a circular cross-section diameter of 0.5 mm, constructed from CuZn alloy with tin plating. It supports rectangular PCB connections and right-angle board-to-board or wire-to-board interfaces.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact plating details and material specifications. Ensure the required contact count matches the 16-position configuration. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style and right-angle orientation are compatible with the target PCB layout and mechanical constraints before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2-row, 16-pin male header with a 2.54 mm pitch is required for right-angle mounting. The choice depends on the need for precision 0.5 mm diameter pins and tin-plated CuZn contacts. Verify that the through-hole installation method and rectangular connection geometry align with the design requirements.
