MK LP 40 10 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 40 10 Z is a male pin header from Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a single row with ten contacts and a 2.54 mm pitch. The contact material is copper zinc, plated with tin to ensure reliable electrical connections and oxidation resistance. Insulation is provided by glass-filled polyamide (PA46), rated UL 94 V-0. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 163°C. Electrical ratings include 60 V DC voltage and 1.5 A current capacity.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low-profile design with tin-plated contact surfaces for reliable connectivity
• Glass-filled polyamide insulation offering high thermal stability
• Through-hole straight terminal style for secure board attachment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic assembly requiring low-profile headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'Z' against official datasheets to confirm exact plating thickness or mechanical variations. Ensure the single-row configuration matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the 2.54 mm pitch aligns with mating connector specifications. Check for automotive qualification status if required, as this series is generally non-automotive.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row male header is needed for 10-pin applications. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general electronics. Consider the operating temperature range and UL 94 V-0 rating for environmental compliance. The tin plating provides cost-effective corrosion resistance suitable for non-high-frequency applications.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 40 series, characterized by its low profile and through-hole construction. The series offers various contact counts, with this specific model providing ten positions. It is distinct from higher-current or gold-plated variants in the same family, focusing on standard tin-plated performance.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, single-row layout, and 10-contact count. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer compatible tin plating and PA46 insulation. Ensure the mechanical height and terminal style are identical for proper PCB integration.
