MK LP 240 60 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 240 60 G is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 2-row configuration with 60 contacts and a 2.54 mm pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper zinc contacts and a glass-filled polyamide (PA46) insulating body rated UL 94 V-0. Electrical specifications include a nominal current of 1.5 A, nominal voltage of 60 V DC, and a test voltage of 1000 V. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design optimized for space-constrained applications
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Glass-filled polyamide insulation provides thermal stability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General purpose electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact finish variant when ordering, as suffixes may indicate different plating options such as tin or gold. Confirm that the PA46 GF insulation material meets the required UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for the target application environment. Ensure the soldering process aligns with the specified temperature range limits.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component for straight through-hole mounting where a low profile is required. The 2.54 mm grid spacing is standard for general-purpose board connectors. Consider the 1.5 A current rating and 60 V DC voltage limit when designing the circuit interface to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 240 series of male headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various pole counts, including 6, 8, 28, 50, 60, and 84 positions. All variants share the same low profile mechanical footprint and 2.54 mm pitch, differing primarily in contact quantity and potentially contact finish options.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include MK LP 240 50 G and MK LP 240 84 G. These parts share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings but differ in contact count. Verify that the alternative part number matches the required pin count for the specific PCB layout.
