MK LP 41 5 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 41 5 Z is a single-row male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features five positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The contacts are constructed from copper beryllium and feature a tin-plated surface finish to ensure reliable electrical connectivity. This component belongs to the low-profile MK LP 41 series, offering a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low-profile design optimized for reduced vertical height in PCB assemblies
• Tin-plated contact surfaces provide corrosion resistance and solderability
• Single-row configuration with precise 2.54mm spacing for standard interconnects

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General-purpose PCB signal and power interconnections
• Low-profile electronic device assembly
• Prototype development and testing setups

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current catalog to confirm contact plating and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors regarding row count and pitch. Cross-reference the DigiKey part number 5496-MKLP415Z-ND for accurate distributor identification and availability status before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile male header is required for through-hole applications. The 5-position count and 2.54mm pitch are critical constraints. Verify that the tin-plated finish meets environmental requirements, as it differs from gold-plated alternatives in the same series. Confirm mechanical fit within the enclosure height limitations due to its low-profile construction.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK LP 41 series of low-profile male pin headers. The series offers various position counts while maintaining a consistent 2.54mm pitch and through-hole mounting style. It is distinct from the standard MK 31 series, which typically features different profile heights and contact materials.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating connectors include Fischer Elektronik parts such as MK 31 41 Z or similar female sockets with matching 2.54mm pitch. Ensure replacement headers maintain the low-profile characteristic if vertical space is limited.
