MK LP 42 50 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK LP 42 50 G is a male pin header connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features a single row with 50 contacts and a pitch of 2.54 mm (0.100 inches). The contact material is copper zinc, with gold plating on the post interface to ensure reliable conductivity. The insulation material is polyamide (PA46), glass-filled, providing structural integrity and thermal stability. This component supports operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and contact finish requirements against the official datasheet before procurement. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required current rating and voltage specifications for the target application. Confirm compatibility with standard PCB drilling patterns for 2.54 mm pitch headers to avoid assembly issues.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row male header is required for through-hole assembly. Consider the 50-contact length and 2.54 mm pitch constraints. Verify that the gold-plated contact finish aligns with environmental exposure requirements. Ensure the PA46 insulation material meets the thermal management needs of the host circuit board.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK LP 42 series of PCB connectors. The series offers various contact counts and configurations for board-to-board and wire-to-board applications. The MK LP 42 50 G specifically provides a high-density connection solution in a single-row format, utilizing robust materials for industrial environments.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 50-position count, single-row layout, and through-hole mounting style. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer compatible gold-plated contacts and similar insulation materials like PA46. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions to ensure fit within the existing PCB footprint.
