MK LP 241 38 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 241 38 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It features a dual-row configuration with 38 positions and a standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch in both axes. The contacts are constructed from a CuZn alloy and finished with a tin-plated surface. The contact sleeve includes a nickel base with a minimum thickness of 0.2 µm followed by the tin plating. This component supports board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnections.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Tin-plated contact surfaces ensuring reliable conductivity
• Through-hole straight mounting style for secure PCB attachment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic equipment assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact count and row configuration. Ensure the required soldering temperature profile aligns with the component's thermal limits. Confirm that the tin-plated finish meets the environmental requirements for the intended application. Check compatibility with mating connectors regarding height and pitch specifications before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a 38-position, two-row header is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for many legacy and modern systems. Consider the low profile if vertical space is limited. Verify that the nominal current rating of 1.5 A is sufficient for the circuit load. Ensure the operating temperature range covers the expected environmental conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 241 series of low-profile headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various contact counts, indicated by the numeric suffix in the part number. Other variants include different pin counts such as 10, 24, and 88 positions. The 'Z' suffix typically denotes specific plating or packaging options within the product line.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm x 2.54 mm pitch, 38-pin count, and dual-row through-hole format. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact material compatibility. Generic equivalents may differ in housing material or plating thickness. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for verified alternative part numbers.
