Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix to confirm contact plating and row configuration. Ensure the required current rating and voltage specifications match the application requirements before procurement. Confirm compatibility with mating connectors from the same series or standard 2.54mm pitch headers.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density connection is needed. The 52-position count and 2.54mm pitch make it suitable for complex board interfaces. Consider the through-hole mounting requirement and verify that the PCB layout accommodates the straight header orientation.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK LP 242 series of male pin headers. The series offers various position counts, including 60 and 70 positions, all sharing the same 2.54mm pitch and low-profile characteristics. These connectors are designed for robust electronic assemblies requiring reliable signal transmission.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes must maintain the 2.54mm pitch, 2-row configuration, and 52-contact count. Verify that alternative parts offer similar low-profile dimensions and through-hole mounting capabilities to ensure mechanical fit.
