SL 10 SMD 078 21 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 078 21 Z is a male pin header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a surface mount design with 21 positions arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch for standard board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. The contact surfaces are gold-plated over nickel, providing reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. This component is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount technology compatible with automated pick-and-place manufacturing
• Gold-plated contacts over nickel substrate for enhanced durability
• Single row configuration with 21 positions

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• Automated surface mount assembly lines

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with automated placement equipment requirements. Confirm that the 21-position count matches the target circuit design. Check datasheet specifications for thermal reflow profiles during assembly.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 21-position surface mount header is required. The 2.54mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard PCB footprints. Gold plating offers superior performance for applications requiring high reliability. Verify mechanical dimensions against enclosure constraints before finalizing the design.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD 078 series of pin headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various position counts ranging from 4 to 12 contacts per reel in some variants, but this specific model provides 21 positions. The 'Z' suffix typically indicates specific plating or packaging variations within the product line.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SL 10 SMD 078 18 Z SM and SL 10 SMD 078 16 Z B SM. These alternatives share similar surface mount characteristics and 2.54mm pitch but differ in contact count. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution.
