MK LP 242 66 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 66 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 2-row configuration with 66 positions and a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting, the contacts are tin-plated to ensure reliable electrical connections. The component supports board-to-board and wire-to-board applications within electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts
• Tin-plated contact surface for corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Straight through-hole termination method for secure PCB attachment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB design. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density connection is required. The 2.54mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard headers. Consider the 66-position count for signal routing needs. Verify mechanical clearance for the straight form factor during enclosure design.

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 termination styles. The MK LP 242 66 Z specifically provides a 66-contact solution in a straight, through-hole format, differing from surface mount or angled variants in the same family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Check Fischer Elektronik documentation for alternative position counts within the MK LP 242 series. Verify mechanical dimensions and pinout compatibility before substituting with other manufacturers' headers. No direct cross-brand substitutes are confirmed in public data.
