MK LP 242 82 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 82 G is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 82 contacts arranged in two rows with a 2.54 mm pitch. The connector supports a voltage rating of 60 VDC and a current rating of 1.5 A. Contact surfaces are gold-plated over nickel to ensure reliable electrical connections. The housing utilizes glass-filled polyamide (PA46) compliant with UL 94 V-0 standards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low-profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for corrosion resistance
• Glass-filled polyamide insulation material

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General purpose electronic assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact count and row configuration. Confirm that the gold plating thickness meets application requirements for signal integrity. Ensure the through-hole soldering process aligns with the component's thermal specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions before integration.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density 2-row connectivity is required with a standard 2.54 mm pitch. Consider the low-profile form factor if vertical clearance is limited. Verify compatibility with mating sockets regarding contact geometry and insulation height. Evaluate the environmental stability provided by the PA46 housing material.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 242 series of Fischer Elektronik headers. The series offers various contact counts while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical characteristics. The 'G' suffix typically denotes gold plating on the contact posts. This model represents a high-contact variant within the family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 2-row configuration, and 82 contact count. Verify identical voltage and current ratings. Ensure the replacement uses compatible insulation materials and contact finishes. Check mechanical footprint compatibility for PCB layout reuse.
