MK 251 26 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 251 26 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 26-position configuration with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch spacing. The component utilizes a through-hole mounting method for secure PCB attachment. It is designed as a solder and plug pin assembly with a rectangular PCB connection interface. The contacts are constructed from CuZn alloy and are tin-plated to ensure reliable electrical performance.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting design for stable PCB integration
• Tin-plated CuZn alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Standard 2.54 mm pitch spacing for compatibility

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnection
• Wire-to-Board connections
• General electronic circuit assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact count and row configuration against the official datasheet before procurement. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout. Confirm that the tin-plated finish meets the environmental requirements of the application. Cross-reference the part number suffix to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and plating specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 26-position male header is required for through-hole assembly. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard breadboards and mating connectors. Consider the CuZn alloy material properties for mechanical strength. Verify the right-angle or straight orientation if not explicitly stated in the primary description, as variations exist within the series.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 251 series of male pin headers. The series offers various position counts, such as 14, 24, and 44 positions, maintaining consistent 2.54 mm pitch. These connectors are designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring robust board-to-board or wire-to-board connections.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives include other Fischer Elektronik MK 251 series variants with matching pitch and mounting type. Ensure any substitute maintains the 26-position count and through-hole specification. Verify that the contact material and plating meet the original electrical requirements.
