SL 10 SMD 052 18 G

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 052 18 G is a surface mount male pin header manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features 18 positions with a single row 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) insulation rated for temperatures between -40°C and +163°C. Designed for straight PCB mounting, it supports board-to-board and wire-to-board applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design for automated pick-and-place assembly
• Gold-plated contact finish for reliable signal transmission
• Single-row male pin configuration for compact layouts

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• High-density electronic assemblies requiring surface mount technology

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' confirms gold plating as distinct from tin or silver options within the SL 10 SMD series. Ensure the ordering number matches the 18-position count to avoid confusion with adjacent pin counts like 17 or 23. Confirm packaging format requirements such as bar magazines or tape and reel availability for production integration.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, surface-mount male header is required with gold contact finishes. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose interconnects. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +163°C for environmental suitability. Verify that the straight mounting style aligns with the mechanical constraints of the target PCB layout.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD series, which offers various pin counts and plating options. The '052' designation typically relates to the housing dimensions or series variant, while '18' indicates the contact count. The 'G' suffix specifies the gold plating treatment, differentiating it from tin-plated ('Z') or silver-plated alternatives in the same physical footprint.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 18-position, single-row, 2.54 mm pitch, surface mount male header specification with gold plating. Fischer Elektronik part numbers such as SL 10 SMD 052 18 Z (tin) or SL 10 SMD 052 18 S (silver) are functional equivalents but differ in contact material. Cross-brand replacements require identical mechanical and electrical parameter verification.
