MK LP 42 7 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MK LP 42 7 G is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a through-hole mounting style with a single row of seven contacts. The connector utilizes a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications. The housing material is PA 4.6, rated UL94 V-0. Contact plating consists of gold over nickel. Rated current is 1.5 A at 60 V DC, with an insulation resistance exceeding 10^7 Ω·m.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole straight pin header configuration
• Gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• High-temperature resistant PA 4.6 housing material

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating thickness and housing color against the manufacturer's latest datasheet before ordering. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the PCB design requirements. Confirm that the 1.5 A current rating and 60 V DC voltage limits are sufficient for the target application environment to prevent component failure.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 7-position header is required for low-voltage signal applications. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard breadboard and prototyping systems. Consider the PA 4.6 material properties for thermal stability during soldering processes. Verify mechanical retention needs for through-hole installation.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to Fischer Elektronik's MK LP series of pin headers. The series offers various position counts and configurations for general-purpose electronics. Fischer Elektronik specializes in connectors and heat sinks, providing standardized components for industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 7-position, 2.54mm pitch male headers from manufacturers such as Molex, Samtec, or TE Connectivity. Ensure replacement parts match the through-hole mounting style and PA 4.6 housing material for equivalent thermal performance.

Headers, Male Pins FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for the housing?

The PA 4.6 housing is rated UL94 V-0 and supports high-temperature environments typical for lead-free soldering processes.

Is the connector suitable for high-current applications?

No, the rated current is 1.5 A at 60 V DC, making it suitable for signal and low-power applications rather than high-current power distribution.
