MK LP 242 10 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 10 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with a straight orientation. The connector provides 10 positions arranged in a single row. The contact pitch is standardized at 2.54 mm (0.100 inches). The contacts are tin-plated to ensure reliable electrical connection and corrosion resistance.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design for compact board integration
• Tin-plated contact surface for reliability
• Through-hole straight mounting configuration

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-Board interconnections
• Wire-to-Board connections
• General electronic circuit assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official Fischer Elektronik documentation to confirm exact plating thickness or material specifications, as suffixes often denote critical manufacturing variations. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required contact count and row configuration precisely to avoid compatibility issues with mating connectors.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row male header is required for through-hole applications. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard PCB layouts and mating female connectors. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose use where high conductivity and moderate corrosion resistance are sufficient.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 242 series of male headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series is characterized by low-profile construction and tin-plated contacts. Variations within the series typically differ by the number of positions and specific suffix codes indicating minor material or packaging differences.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 10-position count, single-row layout, and through-hole straight form factor. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer equivalent tin-plated contacts and similar low-profile dimensions to ensure mechanical fit.
