SL 10 SMD 040 12 G B SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 040 12 G B SM is a surface mount male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) mating pitch and contains 12 contacts arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes male pins with tin post finish, characterized by a 4.00 µm contact finish thickness for the mating interface. Designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board applications, it supports a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount straight configuration for PCB integration
• Tin-plated male pin contacts for reliable connectivity
• UL 94 V-0 rated flame retardant 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 ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required contact counts and termination types. Confirm that the tin finish thickness and pitch specifications align with the target mating component requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row surface mount header is required for 2.54 mm pitch systems. Ensure the design accommodates the specified thermal limits and soldering profiles compatible with the 260°C/10s rating. Validate that the 12-contact length fits within the available board space constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD series, which provides various contact count options ranging from 4 to 20 contacts within the same form factor. The series is designed for high-reliability surface mount applications in industrial and consumer electronics environments.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against alternative headers from other manufacturers if sourcing changes are necessary.
