MK LP 43 17 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK LP 43 17 Z is a male pin header connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 17 positions with a single row and a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The contacts are constructed from copper beryllium, plated with gold over nickel to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 3A current at 150V DC, the connector operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C. The housing material meets UL94 V-0 flammability standards, providing safety in various electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole right-angle design for secure PCB integration
• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Single-row configuration with precise 2.54 mm spacing

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 17-position count and right-angle orientation. Confirm that the through-hole soldering method aligns with your manufacturing process capabilities. Ensure the operating temperature range and current ratings meet the system requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle male header is required for space-constrained vertical board stacking. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard breadboards and prototyping systems. Consider the gold plating thickness if long-term reliability in harsh environments is critical compared to tin-plated alternatives.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK LP 43 series of pin headers. The series offers various pole counts and configurations, including straight and right-angle options. The MK LP 43 designation indicates a specific housing style and contact arrangement optimized for through-hole technology applications in industrial and consumer electronics.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik MK LP 43 series headers with different pole counts, such as MK LP 43 20 Z or MK LP 43 1G, provided the position count matches the design requirement. Cross-brand replacements must match the 2.54 mm pitch, right-angle form factor, and through-hole mounting style.
