MK 251 48 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK 251 48 Z is a male pin header connector designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features 48 contacts arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The contacts are constructed from CuZn alloy and feature a tin-plated surface finish, with specific variants offering gold plating options. This component facilitates secure board-to-board or wire-to-board connections.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Precision-engineered solder and plug pins with a 0.5 mm diameter for reliable rectangular PCB connections
• Through-hole mounting design suitable for standard PCB assembly processes
• Dual-row configuration providing high contact density within a compact footprint

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact contact surface finish specification against the manufacturer's datasheet, as variations exist between tin-plated and gold-plated versions. Confirm that the 48-contact count and 2.54 mm pitch align with the target PCB layout requirements before ordering to ensure mechanical compatibility.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a 48-pin through-hole header is required. Ensure the application supports the 2.54 mm pitch constraint. Consider the MK 251 ECO variant if environmental compliance is a priority, though standard availability should be confirmed via official documentation.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

The MK 251 series represents Fischer Elektronik's range of precision pin headers. These components are characterized by their rectangular PCB connection style and consistent 2.54 mm spacing. The series offers various contact counts and row configurations to suit different density requirements.
