MK LP 240 68 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 240 68 Z is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features a 2-row configuration with 68 contacts arranged in a straight orientation. The component utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) contact pitch and employs through-hole solder termination for secure PCB mounting. Constructed with copper zinc contacts finished in tin, the header uses glass-filled polyamide (PA46/nylon 4/6) insulation. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Through-hole straight mounting for reliable board attachment
• Tin-plated copper zinc contacts for corrosion resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required contact count and row configuration. Confirm that the tin contact finish aligns with your assembly requirements, as gold finishes are available in other variants. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your environmental specifications before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile male header with 68 positions is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for many legacy and modern designs. Consider the tin finish if lead-free compliance is necessary, noting that other versions may offer gold plating for different conductivity or wear needs.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP series of low-profile headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series typically offers various contact counts and row configurations while maintaining a consistent 2.54 mm pitch. The 'Z' suffix often denotes specific finishing or packaging attributes within the manufacturer's catalog structure.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik headers with identical 2.54 mm pitch and 68-contact capacity, such as the MK LP 240 68 G which features gold contacts. Ensure mechanical dimensions and insulation material compatibility match the original design constraints.
