MK LP 242 70 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 70 G is a through-hole straight pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 2.54 mm pitch and consists of two rows with 70 contacts. The component is rated for 60VDC voltage and supports a current rating of 1.5A. Contacts are constructed from copper zinc alloy, insulated by polyamide material. The mating surface has a contact finish thickness of 7.87µin (0.200µm), while the post finish is gold-plated.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained board-to-board or wire-to-board connections
• Reliable electrical connection ensured by tin-plated contact surfaces and nickel-sleeved pins
• Gold-plated post finish provides corrosion resistance and stable conductivity

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in electronic assemblies
• Wire-to-board connections requiring high contact density
• Through-hole mounting applications in industrial electronics

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix to confirm contact finish and row configuration. Ensure that the 2.54 mm pitch matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the 1.5A current rating and 60VDC voltage limit align with the system's electrical requirements before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density connector is required for through-hole assembly. The 70-contact capacity in a dual-row format maximizes connectivity within limited vertical space. Verify compatibility with mating sockets regarding height and pin alignment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the MK LP 242 series of male headers produced by Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various contact counts and configurations, all maintaining a consistent 2.54 mm pitch and low-profile mechanical design for standard electronic interconnection needs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik MK LP 242 variants with matching 2.54 mm pitch and 70-pin count. Ensure any replacement maintains the same through-hole straight orientation and dual-row structure.
