MK LP 242 36 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 36 G is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with a straight orientation and a pitch of 0.100 inches (2.54 mm). The component has 36 positions arranged in two rows. It is designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. The contact surface is tin-plated, utilizing a Ni+46µm Sn contact sleeve to ensure reliable performance.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Tin-plated contact surface with nickel-silver alloy sleeve
• Through-hole terminal style for secure PCB attachment

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 'G' corresponds to the required tin-plated finish and Ni+46µm Sn sleeve configuration. Confirm that the 36-position count matches the design requirements. Ensure the through-hole straight form factor aligns with the PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile male header with a 2.54 mm pitch is required. The two-row configuration provides higher density compared to single-row alternatives. The tin-plated contacts offer standard conductivity without gold plating costs. Consider the mechanical stability provided by the through-hole mounting method for robust connections.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 242 series of male headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 'LP' designation indicates a low profile construction. The model number specifies the exact pin count and finish type within this product family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik MK LP 242 variants with different pin counts, such as MK LP 242 70 G. Ensure any replacement maintains the 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole mounting style. Verify that the contact material and plating specifications match the original design requirements.
