MK LP 41 12 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK LP 41 12 Z is a single-row male header connector designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features 12 positions with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy, plated with tin on the tail and gold on the mating surface. Rated for 1.5 A at 60 VDC, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 163°C. The housing utilizes UL94 V-0 rated material, ensuring flame resistance. This component provides reliable interconnection for low-profile electronic assemblies requiring standard spacing.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design optimized for space-constrained applications
• Gold-plated contact surfaces ensure reliable signal transmission
• Through-hole termination method secures stable PCB attachment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Consumer electronics assembly
• Industrial control board interconnections
• Communication equipment headers

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and pin count configuration. Confirm that the through-hole footprint aligns with the target PCB layout dimensions. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors regarding pitch and row configuration before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile male header with 12 pins is required. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed 60 VDC and current remains within 1.5 A limits. Verify that the operating temperature environment falls within the specified -40°C to 163°C range for optimal performance and longevity.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 41 series of low-profile PCB connectors manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various pin counts while maintaining a consistent 2.54 mm pitch. These connectors are engineered for high-density applications where vertical space is limited, providing robust mechanical stability alongside electrical reliability.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik MK LP 41 variants with different pin counts, such as MK LP 41 4 Z or MK LP 41 42 G, provided the pin quantity matches the circuit requirement. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole mounting style.
