MK LP 241 72 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 241 72 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with 72 positions arranged in a single row. The pitch between contacts is 0.100 inches (2.54 mm). The connector utilizes a low-profile design to minimize vertical space requirements on the printed circuit board. The contact surfaces are tin-plated, and the contact sleeves are coated with Ni+46µm Sn to ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The component is engineered to withstand soldering temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low-profile construction for reduced vertical height
• Tin-plated contact surfaces for reliable conductivity
• Contact sleeves coated with Ni+46µm Sn for corrosion resistance
• Through-hole mounting configuration

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General electronic interconnects
• PCB-to-PCB connections
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' against the official Fischer Elektronik datasheet to confirm the exact pin count and configuration. Ensure that the tin-plated finish meets the environmental requirements of the target application. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the PCB layout dimensions precisely before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, low-profile male header is required for through-hole assembly. The 72-position count suits applications needing extensive signal or power routing in a single row. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose use where gold plating is not strictly necessary for contact resistance.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 241 series of low-profile PCB connectors from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various position counts ranging from 4 to 100, allowing designers to scale connectivity needs while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical characteristics across the product line.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with mating female headers from other manufacturers if cross-brand substitution is considered.
