SL 10 SMD 040 31 S

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 040 31 S is a surface mount male header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a single row with 31 positions and a contact pitch of 2.54 mm (0.100 inches). The contacts are constructed from CuSn alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable electrical performance. Designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications, this component supports straight mounting on printed circuit boards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design for automated pick-and-place assembly
• Gold-plated CuSn alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Single row configuration with 31 positions

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Fischer Elektronik datasheet to confirm contact plating specifications and reel packaging details. Ensure the selected variant matches the required surface finish and mechanical dimensions for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before purchase.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this connector when a single-row, surface-mount male header with a 2.54 mm pitch is required. The gold-plated contacts offer superior durability compared to tin-only options. Consider the physical height and bar magazine compatibility if using automated placement equipment. Verify that the 31-position length fits within the available board space constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the SL 10 SMD series of compact SMD connectors from Fischer Elektronik. The series typically offers various pin counts and pitch options, including 0.635 mm variants in other models. This specific model utilizes a 2.54 mm pitch, distinguishing it from finer-pitch family members while maintaining the same surface-mount form factor.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 31-position count, and surface-mount orientation. Generic equivalents may differ in contact material or plating thickness. Verify mechanical tolerances and mating force requirements before integrating alternative sources into the design.
