SL 10 SMD 040 18 S

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 040 18 S is a surface mount board connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features 18 male contacts arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes tin-plated contact surfaces and is designed for straight, surface-mount installation on printed circuit boards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design for automated pick-and-place assembly
• Single row configuration with 18 male pin positions
• Tin-plated contact finish for reliable electrical connection

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic device assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific packaging option required, such as bar magazine or tape and reel, as indicated by suffixes like SM or TR. Confirm that the tin-plated variant matches the application requirements compared to gold-plated alternatives within the same series. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow profiles.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row header is needed for direct PCB mounting. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard ribbon cables and mating connectors. Consider the tin plating for cost-effective applications where high corrosion resistance is not critical.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD 040 series of compact surface mount headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various pin counts and plating options to suit different density and environmental requirements while maintaining a consistent form factor.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other single-row 18-pin SMD headers with 2.54 mm pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and terminal plating before substitution.
