SL 10 SMD 040 13 S SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 040 13 S SM is a surface mount board connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features 13 contacts arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes male pin headers with square contact shapes and push-pull fastening. Contact plating is gold-plated on the mating interface, while the termination side is tin-plated. The housing is constructed from glass-filled polyamide (PA46/nylon 4/6), rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design with push-pull locking mechanism
• Gold-plated mating contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Single-row configuration with 2.54 mm spacing
• High-temperature resistant PA46 insulation material

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• Compact electronic assemblies requiring surface mount technology

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'SM' corresponds to the bar magazine packaging option as indicated in manufacturer documentation. Confirm that the 'S' suffix denotes gold plating on the contact area. Ensure compatibility with pick-and-place equipment if using tape and reel options, though this specific part number indicates bar magazine packing. Cross-reference the exact contact count of 13 against the schematic requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, surface-mount header with 13 positions is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose interconnects. Choose the gold-plated variant ('S') over tin-plated ('Z') for applications demanding higher corrosion resistance or lower contact resistance. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the 0.635 mm base pitch specification provided in the datasheet.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD series, which offers compact surface mount solutions. The '040' designation typically refers to the height or profile class within the series. Fischer Elektronik designs these connectors for high-density applications where space is limited but reliable electrical connection is critical. The series supports various contact counts and plating options to suit different environmental conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 13-position, single-row, 2.54 mm pitch, surface mount form factor. Verify that alternative parts support the same operating temperature range (-40°C to +163°C). Check if the replacement offers compatible push-pull locking mechanisms. Ensure the insulation material and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) meet the original design specifications.
