MK 51 35 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK 51 35 Z is a male pin header connector designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features 35 positions with a standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch, arranged in a single row. The contacts are constructed from CuZn alloy and offer dual plating options: gold over nickel on the contact surface and tin plating on the contact sleeve. The solder pins have a precise 0.5 mm diameter rectangular cross-section, ensuring accurate alignment and secure attachment to the printed circuit board during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting design with 0.5 mm diameter rectangular solder pins for precise PCB connection
• CuZn alloy contacts with gold-over-nickel plating on contact surfaces for reliable conductivity
• Tin-plated contact sleeves providing corrosion resistance and secure mechanical retention

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General-purpose electronic assemblies requiring male pin headers
• Board-to-board interconnections using mating female connectors
• Prototyping and development boards needing reliable signal routing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating configuration. Confirm that the 35-position count aligns with the target circuit design. Ensure the through-hole footprint corresponds to the 2.54 mm pitch specification. Check for any environmental compliance requirements regarding the tin and gold plating materials before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row male header with 35 positions is required. The 0.5 mm pin diameter suits applications demanding precise alignment. Choose based on the need for gold-plated contacts for low-contact-resistance performance or tin-plated sleeves for general durability. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the material limits of the CuZn alloy contacts.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 51 series of male pin headers. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 2.54 mm pitch and 0.5 mm pin dimensions. The MK 51 35 Z specifically provides the 35-position variant within this standardized family of through-hole connectors.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 35-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, and through-hole mounting style. Verify compatibility of the 0.5 mm rectangular pin profile with existing PCB footprints. Ensure mating connectors support the same contact geometry and current ratings.
