MK 51 23 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK 51 23 Z is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for rectangular PCB connections. It features 23 contacts arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm pitch. The component utilizes a copper-zinc alloy contact material and polyamide insulation. The contact surface is tin-plated, while the contact sleeve includes a nickel layer of at least 0.2 micrometers topped with gold, or alternatively, a nickel layer of 46 micrometers with tin plating. This through-hole connector supports both soldering and insertion applications.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact sleeve configuration during procurement, as the datasheet indicates variations between Ni+≥0.2µm Au and Ni+46µm Sn options. Confirm that the 23-position count matches the target circuit requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard 2.54 mm pitch footprints on the receiving PCB to guarantee proper mechanical fit and electrical continuity.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 23-contact male header is required for through-hole mounting. Consider the polyamide insulation material for thermal stability. Evaluate the available contact surface finishes against environmental exposure requirements. Ensure the right-angle form factor aligns with the spatial constraints of the assembly design.
