MK 251 20 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 251 20 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with 20 positions arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch for standard board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnections. The contacts are constructed from a CuZn alloy and feature tin-plated surfaces to ensure reliable electrical conductivity. This component is designed for secure insertion into printed circuit boards, providing stable mechanical and electrical connections for electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating requirements against official datasheets before procurement. Ensure the selected connector matches the required current rating and voltage specifications for the target application. Confirm that the through-hole footprint aligns with the PCB design guidelines. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 20-position header is required for through-hole applications. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch compatibility with existing connectors and cables. Evaluate the mechanical stability provided by the through-hole design versus surface-mount alternatives. Ensure the tin-plated contact material meets the corrosion resistance needs of the operating environment.
