MK LP 40 17 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 40 17 G is a 17-position header connector from Fischer Elektronik, designed for surface mount applications. It features a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C. The contacts are gold-plated with a minimum thickness of 0.2 micrometers, while the sleeves utilize nickel and tin plating. Rated for 60V DC and 15A current, it utilizes PA 4.6 GF insulation rated UL 94 V-0.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G' corresponds to the required gold plating specification on the official datasheet. Confirm that the surface mount package type matches the PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 17-position configuration aligns with the circuit design before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface-mount header with high-current capacity is required. The gold plating offers superior corrosion resistance compared to tin-only options. Verify compatibility with mating connectors regarding pitch and row configuration.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 40 series of low-profile electronic connectors. The series offers various position counts and plating options to suit different connectivity needs. It is engineered for reliability in demanding environments requiring stable electrical connections.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 17-position count, 2.54mm pitch, and surface mount mounting style. Verify that alternative components support the same 60V DC rating and 15A current capacity. Check for identical thermal performance limits.
