MK 251 6 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 251 6 G is a male header connector from the Fischer Elektronik MK 251 series, designed for rectangular PCB connections. It features six contacts with a 0.5 mm pin diameter and a 2.54 x 2.54 mm pitch. The contacts are made of CuZn alloy and gold-plated. Insulation is provided by glass-filled polyamide (PA46). Rated current is 1.5 A at 60 VDC. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 163°C. UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• High-precision solder and plug pins for reliable rectangular PCB interconnection
• Gold-plated CuZn alloy contacts ensure durable conductivity
• Glass-filled polyamide insulation supports high thermal stability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Precision electronic assemblies requiring small form factor headers
• Industrial control systems operating in extreme temperatures
• Medical instrumentation interfaces

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact surface specifications and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding pin diameter and pitch. Confirm that the selected variant meets the required UL94 V-0 flammability standards for your application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density header is required for 0.5 mm pin systems. The 2.54 mm pitch allows standard spacing while maintaining compactness. Consider the 1.5 A current rating and 163°C max temperature for thermal management. Verify that the glass-filled PA46 insulation suits the mechanical stress and chemical exposure conditions of the target assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

Part of the Fischer Elektronik MK 251 series of precision male headers. Designed for applications demanding high reliability and small footprint. Shares common design language with other variants in the series, differing primarily in contact count and specific material thicknesses.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0.5 mm pin diameter, 2.54 mm pitch, and 6-position configuration. Verify identical insulation material properties and current ratings. Cross-reference with Fischer Elektronik's official replacement guide for exact equivalent part numbers.
