SL 10 SMD 040 20 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 040 20 G is a male header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik, designed for surface mount technology applications. It features a single row configuration with 20 positions and a contact pitch of 0.100 inches (2.54 mm). The component utilizes a straight pin arrangement suitable for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. This specific variant includes gold plating on the contacts to enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to standard tin-plated versions.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design for automated PCB assembly
• Gold-plated contacts for improved signal integrity
• Single row male header configuration

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic circuit assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'G' correctly denotes the gold-plated contact finish required for your application environment. Confirm the 20-position count matches the target footprint. Ensure compatibility with standard 2.54 mm pitch headers during integration planning.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Choose this model when gold plating is necessary for oxidation resistance or low contact resistance in critical signal paths. Compare against tin-plated variants if cost reduction is prioritized over long-term environmental stability. Validate mechanical retention requirements for surface mount processes.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD 040 series from Fischer Elektronik, which offers various contact counts and plating options. The series provides compact solutions for high-density PCB layouts. Different suffixes indicate variations in contact material and quantity, allowing customization for specific electrical and mechanical needs within the same form factor.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik headers with identical 2.54 mm pitch and 20 positions, such as SL 10 SMD 040 20 S B SM, provided the tin plating meets operational requirements. Verify mechanical dimensions before swapping.
