SL 10 SMD 078 18 Z B SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 078 18 Z B SM is a board connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features 18 contacts arranged in a single row with male straight surface mount terminals. The component utilizes tin-plated contact finishes and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C. It supports peak reflow soldering conditions of 260°C for 10 seconds. The part is RoHS compliant, lead-free, and supplied in a bar magazine packaging format.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Designed for surface mount technology (SMD) applications on printed circuit boards
• Features tin-plated male contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Supports automated pick-and-place assembly processes

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General signal routing on PCBs

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' confirms tin plating and 'B SM' indicates bar magazine packaging. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow profiles up to 260°C. Confirm that the 18-contact configuration matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the staggered contact arrangement if applicable.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 18-position male header is required for surface mounting. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard through-hole or surface mount mating connectors. Consider the tin finish for cost-effective solutions where gold plating is not strictly necessary. Verify thermal endurance requirements against the specified operating temperature range.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD series, which offers various contact counts and plating options. The series provides flexible configurations for different board densities. Similar parts in the series include variants with different contact numbers and surface finishes such as gold or nickel-tin combinations.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Fischer Elektronik headers from the same SL 10 SMD family with matching pin counts and pitch. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 18-pin count, and surface mount form factor. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution.
