MK LP 242 80 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK LP 242 80 G is a male pin header designed for through-hole mounting. It features 80 contacts arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. The component utilizes copper zinc contact material with gold plating on the mating surface and post. Insulation is provided by polyamide rated UL 94 V-0. Electrical specifications include a nominal voltage of 60 V DC, a current rating of 1.5 A, and a volume resistance of ≤10 mΩ. Contact finish thickness at the mating interface is 7.87 µin (0.200 µm).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnection design.
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission.
• Polyamide insulation provides high thermal stability.

Headers, Male Pins Applications
