MK LP 40 50 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 40 50 Z is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and contains 50 positions arranged in a single row. The component utilizes a through-hole straight mounting style for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. The contact surface is tin-plated, while the contact sleeve features Ni+46µm Sn plating. The overall contact length measures 8.45 mm (0.333 inches), with an insulation height of 1.27 mm (0.050 inches).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design with circular contact shape.
• Tin-plated mating contact surface for reliable connection.
• Through-hole straight mounting configuration.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact plating specifications and material composition. Ensure the required contact count matches the 50-position configuration. Confirm that the through-hole straight form factor aligns with the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row header with 50 contacts is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general electronics. Consider the tin-plated finish for cost-effective applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary. Verify that the 1.27 mm insulation height fits within the available vertical clearance of the assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK LP series, which is characterized by low-profile electronic components designed for space-constrained applications. The series typically offers various contact counts and configurations, utilizing tin-plated surfaces on the contacts and sleeves to ensure durability and conductivity in standard electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 50-position count, and through-hole straight mounting style. Verify that alternative headers maintain compatible insulation heights and contact finishes to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without modifying the existing PCB footprint.
