MK LP 241 36 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 241 36 Z is a low-profile male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting configuration with 36 positions arranged in a single row. The contact pitch is 0.100 inches (2.54 mm). The contacts are constructed from CuZn alloy and are tin-plated, specifically coated with Ni+46µm Sn. The component has a rated current of 1.5 A and a contact resistance of ≤10 mΩ. The operating temperature range extends from -40°C to +163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low-profile design for space-constrained applications
• Tin-plated contact surface for corrosion resistance
• Through-hole board-to-board or wire-to-board connectivity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General electronic equipment interconnections
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the 36-position count matches the required circuit density. Confirm that the through-hole footprint aligns with the PCB design guidelines provided in the official documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile male header is required for reliable signal or power transmission. The 1.5 A rating suits moderate current applications. Consider the tin plating for general environmental protection. Verify that the 0.100-inch pitch fits the available board spacing constraints compared to finer pitches.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 241 series of low-profile connectors from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various position counts to accommodate different circuit requirements. The MK LP 241 36 Z represents a specific variant within this family, distinguished by its 36-pin configuration and standard tin plating.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Consult Fischer Elektronik catalogs for alternative position counts within the MK LP 241 series if pin count differs. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 2.54mm pitch low-profile headers, ensuring identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings are met.
