MK LP 242 26 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 26 G is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 26 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes copper zinc contact material and includes a Ni+46µm Sn contact sleeve to ensure reliable electrical connections. Rated for 1.5 A current and 60 V DC voltage, it offers a dielectric withstand voltage of 1000 V. The housing is constructed from PA 4.6 plastic rated UL 94 V-0, providing high-quality tinned contact surfaces for durability.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Tin-plated contact surface ensures reliable electrical contact
• Copper zinc contact material provides structural integrity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact count and row configuration. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style aligns with the target PCB layout. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by the project specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions to guarantee fit within the enclosure constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, two-row male header is required for 2.54 mm pitch applications. Consider the 1.5 A current rating and 60 V DC voltage limits for circuit compatibility. The PA 4.6 housing material offers robust thermal and mechanical performance. Verify that the through-hole soldering process is compatible with the manufacturing workflow.

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 its low profile construction and tin-plated contacts. Similar variants exist with different contact counts, such as the 70-contact version, allowing for scalable design options within the same form factor and interface standard.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik headers with identical 2.54 mm pitch and 26-position configuration. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same through-hole mounting style and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Verify that the contact material and plating specifications match to preserve electrical reliability.
