MK LP 242 54 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 54 Z is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features 54 positions arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes through-hole mounting for secure board attachment. Contact surfaces are tin-plated, supported by a Ni+46µm Sn contact sleeve to ensure reliable electrical connections. The insulation material is polyamide (PA46), glass-filled nylon 4/6, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Tin-plated contacts with nickel underplating for reliability
• High-temperature resistant polyamide insulation

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic equipment headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official Fischer Elektronik documentation to confirm exact plating and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors regarding pitch and row configuration. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer's current datasheet before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density connection is required. The 54-position count and dual-row layout suit complex circuit interfaces. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 163°C meets environmental requirements. Confirm mechanical fit within the assembly constraints due to its specific height profile.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP series of male pin headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series is characterized by low-profile construction and robust insulation materials. It serves as a standard interconnect solution in various electronic assemblies requiring reliable signal or power transmission between boards or wires.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes must match the 54-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, and dual-row configuration. Verify identical voltage and current ratings if replacing in critical circuits. Ensure physical dimensions and mounting style remain compatible with existing PCB layouts.
