MK LP 241 20 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 241 20 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with two rows of contacts, providing a total of 20 positions. The connector utilizes a standard 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch for the pins. The contact surfaces are tin-plated to ensure reliable electrical connections, while the contact sleeves are coated with nickel and a 46-micrometer layer of tin. This component is designed as a low-profile solution suitable for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications requiring secure mechanical and electrical interfacing.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design optimized for space-constrained electronic assemblies
• Tin-plated contact surfaces ensuring durable and reliable signal transmission
• Contact sleeves coated with nickel and a specific thickness of tin for corrosion resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronic devices
• Wire-to-board connections requiring low-profile headers
• General-purpose signal routing in consumer electronics

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number including the suffix 'Z' to ensure correct configuration. Confirm that the required contact count matches the 20-position specification. Check datasheets for mechanical dimensions and plating details before integration. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding pitch and row configuration.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile male header is required for 2.54 mm pitch applications. Consider the tin-plated contacts for general use environments. Evaluate the 20-position count against circuit requirements. Compare against other series like MK LP 242 if different housing styles are needed.
