MK LP 242 86 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 242 86 G is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting type with 86 positions arranged in two rows. The pitch is 0.100 inches (2.54 mm). The voltage rating is 60 VDC and the current rating is 1.5 A. Contact materials include nickel plating with gold flash or tin options.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design for space-constrained applications
• Through-hole soldering compatibility
• High shock resistance up to 50 g
• Gold-plated contact sleeves for corrosion protection

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic equipment headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating option (gold or tin) required for your application, as variations exist within the MK LP 242 series. Confirm that the 86-position configuration matches your PCB footprint exactly. Ensure the through-hole drilling dimensions align with the 2.54 mm pitch specification before ordering.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density, low-profile header is needed for reliable signal or power transmission. The 1.5 A rating suits moderate current loads. Consider the mechanical shock resistance of 50 g if the environment involves vibration. Compare against other row counts if fewer positions are sufficient.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK LP 242 series of male pin headers. The series offers various position counts and plating options. It is designed for standard PCB assembly processes. The manufacturer specializes in connectors and thermal management solutions for industrial electronics.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik headers from the same MK LP 242 family with matching position counts. Verify that alternative parts maintain the 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole mounting style to ensure mechanical fit.
