MK LP 240 18 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 240 18 Z is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features an 18-position configuration with two rows of contacts. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch spacing and employs a through-hole straight mounting style. Electrical specifications include a current rating of 1.5 Amps and an operating temperature range from -40°C to 163°C. The insulation material is black and carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Supports reliable board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnections
• Features a robust 2.54 mm pitch spacing for standard compatibility
• Utilizes through-hole straight mounting for secure PCB attachment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board signal transmission
• Wire-to-board electrical connections
• General electronic circuit assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against the official Fischer Elektronik datasheet to confirm exact contact plating and insulation color specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 18-position count and 2-row layout for your design. Cross-reference the UL94 V-0 rating and temperature limits with your environmental requirements before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2.54 mm pitch male header is required for through-hole implementation. The 18-contact capacity suits applications needing moderate I/O density in a dual-row format. Consider the 1.5A current rating and wide temperature tolerance for environments exceeding standard commercial ranges. Verify mechanical fit within the intended enclosure space.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK LP series, which provides various pin header configurations for PCB connections. The series offers multiple pole counts and row options to accommodate different circuit densities. The MK LP 240 18 Z specifically addresses needs for 18-pin dual-row assemblies using standard 2.54 mm spacing.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 18-position count, 2-row layout, and through-hole straight form factor. Verify that alternative components meet or exceed the 1.5A current rating and -40°C to 163°C operating temperature range. Ensure insulation flammability ratings are compatible with safety standards.
