SL 10 SMD 040 4 G SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 040 4 G SM is a surface mount male header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a single row with four contacts and a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts on a copper-tin base material, housed in a polyamide (PA46) insulator reinforced with glass fiber. Designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design for automated pick-and-place assembly
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for reliable signal transmission
• Glass-fiber reinforced polyamide insulation for thermal stability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General PCB signal routing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'G' confirms gold plating and 'SM' indicates the specific packaging format. Ensure the pin count matches the required circuit design. Confirm compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles as specified in the manufacturer datasheet. Cross-reference the full part number to avoid confusion with tin-plated variants.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row surface mount header is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose electronics. Gold plating offers superior corrosion resistance compared to tin options. Verify that the mechanical footprint fits the available PCB area and that the height specifications meet the assembly constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD series, which provides compact surface mount solutions. The series offers various contact counts and plating options. The SL 10 designation typically refers to the specific housing dimensions and contact configuration within the broader product line.
