SL 1 179 16 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 1 179 16 G is a male header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features a single row with 16 positions and a standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pin spacing. The connector utilizes square-shaped pins with tin plating on both the mating and tail sections. Key dimensional specifications include an overall contact length of 0.547" (13.90mm), a mating contact length of 0.319" (8.10mm), and a column length of 0.118" (3.00mm). The insulating housing is constructed from polyamide (PA46/nylon) with an insulation height of 0.110" (2.80mm).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Single-row male header configuration for straightforward PCB integration.
• Square pin geometry ensures secure mechanical retention within mating sockets.
• Tin-plated contacts provide reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuit interconnections
• Prototype board assembly and testing setups
• Industrial control module signal routing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm plating type and row count. Ensure the selected variant matches the required pin count and insulation material properties. Cross-reference the datasheet dimensions against the target PCB footprint to guarantee compatibility with existing assembly processes and mating connector requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, through-hole male header is required for low-to-medium density connections. The tin-plated finish is suitable for general applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary. Consider the overall height and pin length constraints to ensure adequate clearance for adjacent components on the printed circuit board during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL series of PCB connectors from Fischer Elektronik, which offers various configurations for male headers and stackers. The SL 1 179 designation indicates a specific housing style and pin arrangement within this broader family. These connectors are engineered for robust mechanical stability and consistent electrical performance in standard industrial environments.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Fischer Elektronik SL series headers with identical 16-position, single-row specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 0.100" pitch and through-hole termination method to ensure physical and electrical interchangeability without redesigning the PCB layout.
