SL 10 SMD 040 4 S

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 040 4 S is a surface mount male pin header from Fischer Elektronik's SL series. It features a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch with four contacts arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes tin-plated contacts on a copper-tin alloy base, housed in black PA46 insulation rated UL94 V-0. Designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 163°C and supports a rated current of 3A.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction with push-pull fastening mechanism
• Tin-plated contact surfaces for reliable electrical connection
• High-temperature resistant PA46 insulation material

Headers, Male Pins Applications

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

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm contact plating and packaging options. Ensure the selected variant matches the required contact count and mounting style for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to confirm availability of pick-and-place compatible packaging if automated assembly is planned.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row surface mount header is required for high-density layouts. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard ribbon cables and mating connectors. Consider the thermal rating and UL94 V-0 flammability classification for applications involving elevated operating temperatures or strict safety compliance requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD family, which offers various contact counts ranging from 4 to 130 positions. The series provides both gold and tin-plated options, catering to different conductivity and cost requirements. The SL 10 SMD 040 4 S represents the entry-level configuration with minimal footprint, ideal for space-constrained designs.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the SL 10 SMD series with different contact counts, such as SL 10 SMD 040 26 S or SL 10 SMD 040 36 S, provided the pitch and mounting type remain consistent. Verify mechanical dimensions and insulation height compatibility before substituting.
