MK LP 40 20 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 40 20 Z is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole straight mounting. It features a single row with 20 contacts and a pitch of 2.54 mm (0.100 inches). The connector utilizes copper zinc contact material with tin-plated posts and Ni+46µm Sn plating on the contact sleeve. Insulation is provided by glass-filled polyamide (PA46/nylon 4/6), rated UL94 V-0. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 163°C, supporting a current rating of 1.5A and a voltage rating of 60VDC.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections
• Tin-plated contact surface ensures reliable electrical conductivity
• Glass-filled polyamide insulation provides mechanical stability and thermal resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board assemblies
• Through-hole straight mounting applications

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required contact count and pitch. Confirm that the operating temperature range aligns with the intended application environment. Ensure compatibility with standard through-hole soldering processes given the specified thermal limits.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row male header is required for 2.54 mm pitch applications. Consider the 1.5A current rating and 60VDC voltage limit for circuit design. The glass-filled PA46 insulation offers durability in demanding environments compared to standard nylon variants.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the MK LP series of low-profile headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series is characterized by its compact form factor and robust construction using glass-filled thermoplastics. It serves as a standard interconnection solution for electronic assemblies requiring reliable through-hole connectivity.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 2.54 mm pitch, 20-contact configuration, and through-hole straight orientation. Verify that alternative headers offer equivalent current ratings and compatible insulation materials for thermal performance.
