SL 10 SMD 040 18 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 040 18 Z is a surface mount board connector from the Fischer Elektronik SL series. It features 18 male contacts arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm pitch. The component utilizes tin-plated terminals and is designed for straight PCB mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and supports reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction for automated assembly
• Tin-plated contact surfaces for reliable conductivity
• Single-row male header configuration
• High-temperature resistance for reflow processes

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'Z' confirms tin plating rather than gold or silver variants. Ensure the ordering code matches the 18-position requirement. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by specific project standards. Check packaging options such as bar magazines or tape and reel availability for production needs.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a single-row, low-profile surface mount connection. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose electronics. Tin plating offers cost-effective conductivity suitable for non-corrosive environments. Consider insulation height and mating force requirements against compatible female headers.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD series, which provides compact surface mount solutions. The series includes various pin counts and plating options. The SL 11 variant offers staggered configurations, while the SL 10 maintains a straight profile. This specific model represents a mid-range pin count option within the product line.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD variants with different pin counts or plating types. Generic equivalents must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 18-pin count, and surface mount footprint. Verify mechanical compatibility with mating connectors before substitution.
