MK LP 242 68 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 68 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with 68 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. The pitch between contacts is 2.54 mm (0.100 inches). The component utilizes a tin-plated contact surface and a Ni+46µm Sn contact sleeve to ensure reliable electrical connections. It is designed as a low-profile electronic component suitable for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low-profile construction for space-constrained designs
• Tin-plated contact surface with nickel underlayer
• Through-hole mounting 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' corresponds to the tin-plated finish and 68-position count when ordering. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB design. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles given the material specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a low-profile, high-density connection solution. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard ribbon cables and headers. Consider the tin plating for cost-effective reliability where gold plating is not strictly required. Evaluate the 68-position capacity against signal routing needs to avoid unused pins.
