MK 51 41 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK 51 41 Z is a single-row male pin header connector designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It features 41 positions with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, accommodating 0.5 mm diameter plug pins. The contacts are constructed from copper beryllium, with gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the solder tail. Rated for 1.5 A at 60 VDC, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 163°C. The housing meets UL94 V-0 flammability standards, ensuring reliable performance in electronic assemblies requiring precise alignment and durable connections.
