MK LP 42 28 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 42 28 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It belongs to the MK LP 42 series and features a single row with 28 positions. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) grid spacing. It is designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The contact material is brass, and the surface finish includes tin plating. The component supports plug pins with a diameter of 0.5 mm.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Tin-plated contact surfaces for reliable electrical connection
• Single row configuration with 28 contacts
• Through-hole soldering method for secure PCB attachment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General electronic interconnections
• Board-to-board connections
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact pin count and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors requiring 0.5 mm plug pins. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 28-position single-row male header is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for many commercial electronics. Consider the low profile height if vertical clearance is limited. Brass contacts with tin plating offer a balance of conductivity and corrosion resistance for general-purpose use.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part is part of the Fischer Elektronik MK LP 42 series of board headers. The series offers various contact counts ranging from 1 to 50 positions in a single row. These connectors are designed for robust mechanical and electrical performance in various electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 28-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, and single-row male pin configuration. Verify mechanical height and contact plating requirements before substitution.
