MK 251 2 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 251 2 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with two positions and a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The component is designed for reliable rectangular PCB connections using precision-engineered solder and plug pins with a diameter of 0.5 mm.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Precision-engineered male pins designed for secure rectangular PCB connections
• Through-hole mounting configuration for stable board attachment
• Standard 2.54mm pitch spacing ensuring compatibility with common socket systems

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit assembly requiring male pin headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact count matches the '2' designation in the part number to ensure correct quantity. Confirm that the through-hole package type aligns with the target PCB layout. Check for any specific surface finish requirements if environmental resistance is critical, as standard variants may differ from specialized coatings.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a two-position male header is required for through-hole applications. Ensure the 0.5mm pin diameter fits the available hole size on the PCB. Consider the right-angle or straight orientation if not specified, though datasheets typically define the mechanical profile. Verify pitch compatibility with mating female connectors.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 251 series of male headers. The series offers various position counts, ranging from small configurations like this two-pin version to larger arrays. These headers are standard passive interconnects used across general electronics manufacturing for establishing electrical pathways between boards or wires.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik MK 251 series headers with identical pitch and pin count. Generic equivalents must match the 2.54mm pitch and 0.5mm pin diameter. Verify mechanical retention and material composition before substitution.
