MK LP 42 32 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 42 32 Z is a male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features a single row with 32 contacts and utilizes a through-hole straight mounting style. The connector has a pitch of 2.54 mm (0.100 inches). Electrical specifications include a nominal current of 1.5 A and a nominal voltage of 60 V DC, with a test voltage rating of 1000 V. The insulating body is constructed from glass-filled Polyamide 4.6 (PA 4.6 GF), meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability standards. Contact materials consist of copper zinc with tin plating on the post. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +163°C, and it withstands soldering conditions at 260°C for 10 seconds.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number MK LP 42 32 Z against official Fischer Elektronik documentation to confirm contact count, pitch, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with required soldering temperatures and environmental operating ranges before procurement. Cross-reference datasheets for accurate mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 32-position through-hole header is required. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch and 1.5 A current rating for suitability in low-power applications. Verify that the PA 4.6 insulation and tin plating meet environmental and reliability requirements for the intended operating temperature range.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the MK LP series of headers from Fischer Elektronik, which includes various configurations such as MK LP 42 30 Z and MK LP 42 38 Z. These connectors are characterized by their use of glass-filled polyamide insulation and standardized 2.54 mm pitch, offering consistent mechanical and electrical performance across different contact counts within the series.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include MK LP 42 30 Z and MK LP 42 38 Z, provided the contact count difference is acceptable. Ensure any replacement maintains the 2.54 mm pitch, through-hole straight form factor, and similar electrical ratings.
