MK LP 40 27 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 40 27 Z is a low-profile pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a single row of 27 contacts with a 2.54 mm pitch, designed for through-hole straight mounting. The contact material is copper zinc, and the insulation is glass-filled polyamide (PA46). The post contact finish is tin-plated, while the sleeve utilizes Ni+46µm Sn plating. It supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and withstands soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds. Rated for 1.5A current and 60V voltage, it serves as a board-to-board or wire-to-board connector.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low-profile design optimized for space-constrained electronic assemblies
• Tin-plated contact surface ensures reliable electrical connection and oxidation resistance
• Glass-filled polyamide insulation provides structural stability and thermal endurance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronic modules
• Wire-to-board connections requiring low profile headers
• Through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'Z' corresponds to the tin-plated configuration described in official datasheets. Confirm that the 27-pin count and 2.54 mm pitch match the target PCB footprint. Ensure compatibility with the specified 1.5A current rating and 60V voltage limits for the intended application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row through-hole header is required. The glass-filled PA46 insulation suits applications needing higher thermal stability than standard nylon. The tin finish offers cost-effective reliability for general-purpose connections where gold plating is unnecessary.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 40 series of low-profile pin headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series includes variants with different pin counts and contact finishes, such as the MK LP 40 27 G which features gold plating. These connectors are designed for robust mechanical and electrical performance in standard industrial electronics.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

The MK LP 40 27 G is a direct alternative within the same series, differing primarily in contact finish (gold vs. tin). Verify that the change in plating material does not impact the specific corrosion resistance requirements of the assembly.
