MK LP 240 78 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 240 78 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 78-position configuration with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch, designed for through-hole technology (THT) soldering applications. The component utilizes a PA 4.6 GF insulating material rated UL 94 V-0 and offers contact plating options including Ni+≥0.2µm Au or Ni+46µm Sn. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and withstands soldering conditions at 260°C for 10 seconds.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Provides a 78-position connection interface with a standard 2.54 mm spacing for reliable signal routing.
• Constructed with PA 4.6 GF insulation ensuring high thermal stability and UL 94 V-0 flame resistance.
• Engineered for robust through-hole mounting, supporting standard reflow or wave soldering processes.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• General-purpose electronic circuit board assembly
• Signal routing in modular hardware designs

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating variant required for your application, as the series includes both gold and tin finishes. Confirm that the 78-pin count aligns precisely with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with through-hole manufacturing processes, specifically regarding the 260°C/10s thermal endurance limit during soldering operations.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 78-way connection is necessary on a single row. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures broad compatibility with standard PCB layouts. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +163°C for environmental suitability. Choose between gold or tin plating based on corrosion resistance needs and cost constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 240 series of male pin headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various position counts, ranging from 6 to 80 pins, all sharing the same 2.54 mm pitch and structural design. This specific model represents the 78-position variant within that standardized family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik MK LP 240 variants with different pin counts if mechanical space allows. Generic equivalents must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 78 positions, THT mounting style, and PA 4.6 GF insulation rating to ensure functional interchangeability.

Headers, Male Pins FAQ
