Product details

Board-Layout Fit: 4.20mm Pitch and 24 Circuits

The 0015247243: The 0.138" post length clears standard 1.6mm PCBs with room for wave solder fillets. The 4.20mm pitch is the same as the Mini-Fit Jr. and Mini-Fit BMI header families, meaning the mating header footprint is identical — a 24-circuit Mini-Fit BMI header with 4.20mm pitch drops into the same hole pattern.

The solder tails are 100µinch tin, which wets well in lead-free wave solder profiles. Brass contact material with square contact shape is typical for Mini-Fit signal contacts; the current rating is series-limited rather than contact-limited. In a 24-position dual-row configuration at 25°C ambient, the per-contact current ceiling is determined by the 4.20mm pitch and the PA66 housing's thermal rise.

Environmental and Compliance Profile

Applications listed include general-purpose, industrial, medical, and telecommunications — the temperature range and V-0 rating support equipment inside enclosures where flame retardance is required.

This is a through-hole solder receptacle — it mates with a Mini-Fit BMI 42385 series header (male pin header) with the same 24-position, dual-row, 4.20mm pitch layout. The natural insulation color and 0.446" insulation height are visual identifiers on the board. The connector ships in tray packaging — not tape-and-reel, so plan for hand or tube feeding if using automated placement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to 0015247243 in the Mini-Fit BMI series?

Within the Mini-Fit BMI 42385 series, the only difference between order codes is typically the plating grade or packaging. A 24-position dual-row receptacle with tin mating finish (instead of gold) would be a cost-reduction alternative if your application does not require the 30µinch gold for high mating-cycle life. No official cross-reference is published; confirm the plating and post length against your BOM.

Is the 0015247243 RoHS compliant?

Yes, the 0015247243 carries ROHS3 compliance — no restricted substances above threshold limits.
