MK LP 242 80 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 80 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features an 80-position configuration arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The component utilizes a through-hole mounting style for straight PCB installation. Contact surfaces are tin-plated, and the contact sleeves consist of Ni+46µm Sn material to ensure reliable electrical connections.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Tin-plated contact surface for corrosion resistance
• Ni+46µm Sn contact sleeve construction

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' against official Fischer Elektronik documentation to confirm exact plating specifications and mechanical tolerances. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding pitch and row configuration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance with relevant standards before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, 80-pin male header is required for through-hole PCB assembly. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures standard compatibility with common mating interfaces. Consider the tin-plated finish for general environmental protection. Verify that the straight mounting orientation fits within the available vertical clearance of the target enclosure or system 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 contact counts, including 70, 98, and other configurations, all sharing the same 2.54 mm pitch and low-profile structural design. These connectors are designed for reliable signal transmission in industrial and consumer electronics applications requiring robust board-to-board or wire-to-board connectivity.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include MK LP 242 80 G and MK LP 242 80 Z variants from Fischer Elektronik, provided the specific plating requirements match the application needs. Other manufacturers offering 80-position, 2-row, 2.54 mm pitch through-hole male headers may serve as alternatives if mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings are verified.
