MK LP 42 13 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 42 13 Z is a male pin header connector from Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. It features a single row of 13 contacts with a standard pitch spacing of 2.54 mm (0.100 inches). The contact material is a CuZn alloy, providing reliable electrical conductivity. The contact surface finish consists of tin plating, while the contact sleeve utilizes a Ni+≥0.2µm Au or Ni+46µm Sn coating to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. This component supports soldering processes and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting design for secure PCB attachment
• Single row configuration with 13 positions
• Tin-plated contact surfaces for oxidation resistance
• Gold or tin-coated contact sleeves for enhanced reliability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic assembly requiring reliable signal transmission

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact sleeve coating variant (Au or Sn) required for your application, as datasheets may list multiple surface finish options. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches your PCB design constraints. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow or wave soldering profiles given the operating temperature limits. Check for UL 94 V-0 insulation rating compliance if fire safety is a critical requirement for your end product.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this connector when a single-row, 13-position header with 2.54 mm pitch is needed for through-hole applications. Consider the CuZn alloy contact material for cost-effective performance. Evaluate the available surface finishes (tin-plated contacts with gold or tin sleeves) based on environmental exposure and soldering requirements. Ensure the mechanical dimensions align with space constraints in the target assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MK LP 42 series by Fischer Elektronik, which offers various configurations of male pin headers. The series provides options for different contact counts and row arrangements, catering to diverse connectivity needs in electronic devices. The MK LP 42 13 Z specifically addresses applications requiring a moderate number of connections in a compact, single-row format.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. When seeking alternatives, prioritize connectors with identical 2.54 mm pitch, 13 positions, single-row layout, and through-hole mounting style. Verify that any replacement matches the contact material and surface finish specifications to maintain electrical and mechanical performance equivalence.
