MK LP 242 84 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 84 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with a straight orientation. The connector provides 84 contacts arranged in two rows, utilizing a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The contact surface is tin-plated, and the contact sleeve consists of nickel with a 46µm tin coating. The housing material meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and withstands soldering conditions at 260°C for 10 seconds.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Tin-plated contact surface ensures reliable electrical connection
• Nickel plus 46µm tin contact sleeve provides corrosion resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and packaging configuration. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the PCB layout requirements. Confirm that the 84-position count aligns with the intended circuit density. Check for any recent updates to the UL 94 V-0 certification status. Validate compatibility with standard automated insertion equipment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density interconnect solution is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose electronics. The tin-plated finish offers cost-effective reliability for non-corrosive environments. Consider the 84-contact capacity for complex board interfaces. The straight through-hole design simplifies mechanical assembly processes.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 242 series from Fischer Elektronik, which specializes in headers, male pins, and connectors for printed circuit boards. The series includes various contact counts, such as 70 and 60 positions, sharing similar low-profile characteristics. Fischer Elektronik focuses on connectors for PCBs and ribbon cables, providing robust solutions for industrial and consumer electronics applications.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 2-row configuration, and 84-contact count. Verify identical through-hole straight mounting and low-profile height constraints. Ensure comparable tin-plated contact specifications and UL 94 V-0 housing ratings are maintained for equivalent performance.
